Chapter 97 - The Puppet Master Behind the Battle of New York... Was the Purple Potato!

"So, what exactly happened in New Mexico?"

Tony Stark couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Previously, the playboy had kept an eye on New Mexico, but it was more out of a desire to be prepared for extraordinary individuals.

And a bit of rubbernecking.

But now, Tony Stark's focus on New Mexico had reached an unprecedented level.

He could never have imagined that what happened in New Mexico would be so significant.

And if you also considered the Battle of New York…

So, doesn't that mean, besides the few mentioned in the diary, there might be a Loki among those Asgardians who descended upon New Mexico!

What happened between Loki and Thor, the two brothers, in New Mexico!

That led Loki to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to steal the Tesseract!

Eventually, the Avengers united to fight against Loki in the Battle of New York.

Based on the clues and intelligence Tony Stark currently possesses, the situation should be something like this.

However, due to the lack of supporting information, what exactly happened in New Mexico is something the playboy couldn't possibly guess.

Of course.

What Tony Stark doesn't know is that the events in New Mexico were actually just a small piece of the puzzle in the Battle of New York.

The real reason for the outbreak of the Battle of New York wasn't what happened in New Mexico, but Odin's long-standing favoritism towards Thor.

But according to the fragmented descriptions in the diary, it's not strange for the diary holder to be misled sometimes.

"The Chitauri invasion, it actually happened during the Battle of New York!"

Nick Fury, in front of another diary, showed a degree of surprise, but it quickly turned to understanding.

No wonder.

He'd previously wondered why Thor, as the older brother, would team up with the Avengers to fight Loki, his younger brother.

Now it seemed Loki hadn't invaded New York alone, but had allied with an alien race, the Chitauri!

So, the "Chitauri invasion" mentioned earlier in the diary, was actually happening here.

It was the Battle of New York.

The Battle of New York was, in essence, an alien invasion.

In an instant, Nick Fury realized why a Nuclear Missile would be deployed in this war.

With the current technological level of human society, if an alien race were to invade...

The only weapon that could possibly have an effect would be a Nuclear Missile, right?

But there's one thing.

Weren't the Avengers already involved at the time? Then why would human society launch a Nuclear Missile?

Could it be that the Avengers were unable to defeat the Chitauri?

Could it be that New York will really be leveled by a Nuclear Missile in the future?

No way!

Thinking of this, Nick Fury's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

It shouldn't be, right? The diary didn't say anything about it.

If the Battle of New York really did result in New York being nuked, such a "heavy" event, then Satan couldn't possibly have omitted it completely, right?

However, the Battle of New York, this alien invasion, weighed heavily on Nick Fury's mind, making him feel the pressure.

"The Avengers Initiative needs to be accelerated!"

Nick Fury secretly made this decision in his heart.

Not just the Avengers Initiative, but also other related measures, such as the development of superweapons.

Regardless of whether the New York in that other universe was destroyed by a Nuclear Missile, in this universe, Nick Fury would absolutely not allow this to happen! However, there was still something he couldn't quite figure out.

During the Battle of New York, Purple Potato should have only obtained one Infinity Stone, right? How did he have the guts to cause trouble in Odin's territory?

Not to mention, the Ancient One was still alive!

Was Purple Potato really that reckless, daring to cause trouble under the noses of these two super-powered big shots?

[Wouldn't he be afraid of offending those two big shots and getting killed?]

[Could this be the reason why Purple Potato tricked Loki into starting the Battle of New York?]

[After all, Loki is the son of Odin, the ruler of the Nine Realms!]

What! So the mastermind behind the Battle of New York wasn't Loki, but that Purple Potato! Nick Fury's expression tightened slightly.

He had to admit, this result was something the director hadn't expected at all.

He had just started to think he understood more about the Battle of New York, even piecing together the truth behind it.

But then the diary dropped another bombshell, catching him completely off guard.

All along, Fury had thought Loki was the one pulling the strings behind the Battle of New York.

After all, a character with such high status and level, orchestrating such a war would make sense.

But now?

Loki was just a pawn of the Purple Potato, being hoodwinked by the Purple Potato!

This was insane!

Nick Fury couldn't help but complain.

Aren't you the God of Mischief? Aren't you a master of manipulation? How could you be fooled?

It seemed that the Purple Potato was really not simple! Of course, even more extraordinary was Odin, the god-king from mythical legends.

According to Satan's description, the reason the Purple Potato had Loki invade New York was because he was wary of Odin.

After all, Earth was also one of the Nine Realms, also Odin's territory, and the Purple Potato didn't dare to act recklessly on Odin's turf.

So, that's why he let his son do it.

Truly worthy of being a god king!

Even the Purple Potato, who could wipe out half the life in the universe, was wary of him.

It has to be said, this was good news for the bald egg who knew the truth about Earth and that many alien races existed in the universe.

With a super god like Odin around, Earth was at least much safer.

Besides, there was also the Ancient One.

The diary mentioned this name before, but it didn't elaborate.

The bald egg could only analyze that this person was a magic-based superhero, nothing more.

As for how strong this person was, the diary didn't say anything, so Nick Fury naturally couldn't judge.

But Nick Fury never expected the Ancient One to be this strong!

Judging by that Lucifer's tone, she was placed on the same level as Odin.

Like Odin, she made the Purple Potato wary!

So, there was actually such a terrifying figure on Earth?

He had to admit, this really surprised the Egghead.

He'd always thought the most powerful person on Earth was Danvers.

But, how did such a powerful person die?

Was there someone even more powerful who killed her?

What the hell, how many ridiculously powerful people were there on Earth?

Or perhaps it wasn't an Earth-shattering individual, but rather someone extraordinary in the interstellar realm?

The specifics of it all were beyond Nick Fury's ability to fathom just by imagining.

"Infinity Stones?"

Following this, Fury stared at the term, falling into deep thought.

Undoubtedly.

The "Infinity Stones" here should refer to the stones mentioned earlier, belonging to the "Purple Potato" entity.

So, the full name of the "stones" was originally called Infinity Stones.

And there wasn't just one Infinity Stone!

Judging by that Satan's tone, the Purple Potato who possessed a single Infinity Stone didn't dare to provoke Odin or the Ancient One.

But what if he possessed multiple stones?

Seems like it dared!

So, what exactly are the "Infinity Stones"?

They could boost the Purple Potato's power by such a huge margin?

But obviously, I couldn't figure out the answer just by thinking about it. I could only wait for the diary to provide the answer.

So, Nick Fury, just like Black Widow and Tony Stark, kept staring at the diary.

But after waiting for several minutes, the diary remained silent, and no new words "popped up."

Without a doubt, the diary had stopped updating again.

Clap!

Nick Fury slammed the diary shut.

He began to summarize and sort through some of the key information revealed by this diary entry.

In short...

This wave of spoilers, besides expressing Satan's surprise at the changes to the "plot," also covered the events of the Hero Civil War and the incident in New Mexico.

The Hero Civil War was too far off to worry about right now.

After all, the Avengers hadn't even been formed yet.

Moreover, the trigger for the Civil War was quite complex, involving the Sokovia Accords, which restricted heroes.

And the implementation of the Sokovia Accords certainly wasn't solely due to the mission in Sokovia.

It takes more than one cold day to freeze a river.

Clearly.

Things like Scarlet Witch accidentally harming civilians weren't isolated incidents.

That's what fueled the public outcry.

Nick Fury understood this, and knew it would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to avoid.

After all, who could guarantee that an operation would be completely without collateral damage?

Especially in a super war between superheroes and supervillains.

The superhero Civil War was a very complex issue, and one that needed to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

It wasn't something Nick Fury could simply plan ahead for and prevent or avoid.

Compared to the Civil War, Nick Fury was, without a doubt, more concerned about what was about to happen in New Mexico.

The diary was very clear that it would happen soon.

New Mexico would see the arrival of at least five Asgardian gods, and they were heavy hitters like Thor, the God of Thunder, and the Asgardian warriors.

There was even the Destroyer, the ultimate weapon from Asgard.

And these unwelcome guests from Asgard would wreak havoc in New Mexico, potentially even destroying it! This was the most urgent and pressing matter facing Nick Fury.

It was also the most headache-inducing.

Those were gods, after all. How could they be dealt with?

Would they have to set up defenses in New Mexico in advance, deploying a large number of personnel and weapons to be on high alert? This was clearly unrealistic.

Not to mention that the information from the diary could not be revealed.

Even if they could tell others the reasons, such absurd explanations would not be convincing.

Nick Fury couldn't convince anyone to agree to deploy a large armed force in New Mexico.

Not to mention...

Nick Fury, who had experienced the Kree-Skrull War, knew all too well how feeble human weapons were in the face of those alien races.

Faced with the crisis in New Mexico, those conventional methods of dealing with the situation were clearly no longer applicable.

After some deliberation and thought, the only method Nick Fury could think of was actually the "same old song and dance": the Avengers Initiative.

To deal with extraordinary individuals like the Asgardians, the best choice, without a doubt, was superheroes who also possessed extraordinary powers.

"It seems, the Avengers need to speed up some progress," Nick Fury sighed, feeling an increasing sense of urgency.

It had been several months since Nick Fury officially launched this initiative, yet he hadn't managed to recruit anyone besides Black Widow and Barton.

He needed to step up his game!

Although the assessment of Tony Stark hadn't yielded any concrete results, Nick Fury felt it was time to conclude the assessment early, given the circumstances.

At the very least, Black Widow hadn't given any definitive negative feedback during the assessment, right?

And with the diary as a reference, perhaps now was the right time.

Then there was Captain America.

Ever since Captain America was unearthed ahead of schedule, Nick Fury had been eager to bring him into the Avengers.

From every angle, Captain America was the perfect choice.

However, Captain America wasn't in the best condition right now, still busy adapting and accepting this brand-new world.

Lost in thought.

Nick Fury had originally planned to give Captain America some time to adjust and recover.

But it seemed he didn't have that much time anymore.

As for Satan?

Nick Fury pondered for a moment, and his outlook wasn't very optimistic.

After all, it was evident from the lines of the diary that this person wasn't very fond of superheroes.

However, luckily, Satan was a mercenary. Even if he didn't join the Avengers, Fury could consider hiring him.

So, the situation with Satan was still worth anticipating.

Besides, there's Bruce Banner, and some other extraordinary individuals mentioned in the diary.

But these people either had their own significant issues, or couldn't be found. It seems unlikely to see any results in the short term.

So, after this simple review, the question of which extraordinary individuals to focus on first became clear and definite.

And besides accelerating the Avengers' formation, there was another matter that Nick Fury also highly valued.

Developing super weapons.

Super weapons that could adequately address those extraordinary threats!

After all, the number of superheroes was still small.

Besides relying on the bravery of these individuals, Earth also needed to possess genuine defensive power!

Didn't the diary also say so?

That other version of himself, didn't he secretly use the Tesseract to develop weapons because of the threat in New Mexico?

He even came up with the Insight Project, which could kill millions of people at once!
