"This is rather awkward," Tony Stark couldn't help but sigh.
Almost getting wiped out before the war even started was, well, a bit of a disaster.
It was so embarrassing that even before it happened, the playboy felt his cheeks burn just from reading the spoilers in the diary.
This was simply too humiliating.
With his great intellect, Tony Stark, would actually be played by Loki?
He truly deserved to be called the God of Mischief from mythology!
Besides that, Tony Stark also got a crucial piece of information from this latest spoiler.
Loki wasn't just good at scheming; he also had the ability to control people's minds!
This was something to be extra careful about.
The playboy didn't want to end up like Hawkeye Barton during the Battle of New York, completely under Loki's control and nearly trashing the Helicarrier.
Wait a minute, the Helicarrier!
Tony Stark didn't realize the human government even had something like that.
But then again, the playboy wasn't surprised. Everyone had a hidden trump card, right?
It wasn't strange for the government to secretly be planning something big.
"It seems Bruce Banner should also be one of the original Avengers."
The bald-headed man in front of another diary made this judgment.
Tony Stark didn't know about the Helicarrier, but the bald-headed man knew it all too well. Wasn't that something S.H.I.E.L.D. had secretly created? That thing was basically a mobile base in the sky.
How Hulk almost took apart the Helicarrier under Loki's schemes, Nick Fury naturally didn't know the specifics, but one thing was certain.
Bruce Banner must have boarded the Helicarrier with the other Avengers early on.
Then, at some point, he transformed due to Loki's schemes.
After all, the possibility of Loki directly throwing the transformed Hulk onto the Helicarrier was too small.
It didn't fit Loki's identity as the God of Mischief, and it didn't make much sense in various aspects.
So, why was Bruce Banner on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier?
The answer diary had already provided: Bruce Banner was also an Avenger, which went without saying.
Then why the original team?
The diary had previously hinted that after Loki stole the Tesseract, Nick Fury brought the Avengers together, but they didn't trust each other.
They bickered and argued, only truly starting to cooperate after Coulson was killed.
Without a doubt, the situation described must have happened on the Helicarrier.
And it must have been when the Avengers had just been formed.
Then Bruce Banner's identity as an original Avenger was naturally beyond question.
Not only that.
After some thought, Nick Fury also felt that the reason Loki was able to toy with the Avengers was also because the team hadn't yet gelled together in the beginning.
So Nick Fury began to ponder an important question.
A team that hadn't been through a period of adjustment couldn't really be considered a true team.
Since there was now a living example provided by the diary, Nick Fury naturally wouldn't try to "cram for the exam" at the last minute.
It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to properly get the Avengers to work together.
That way, when the Avengers were really needed, things wouldn't be a complete mess.
Just right, the events in New Mexico not long from now would be a ready-made opportunity!
As for Black Widow's ability to play mind games, she actually crushed even Loki, the God of Mischief.
Nick Fury had to admit, he was somewhat surprised.
Nick Fury acknowledged that Black Widow was one of the best agents he'd ever seen, but Loki was a god!
And the God of Mischief at that.
Shouldn't he be the ancestor of all mind games?
Otherwise, why would he be called the God of Mischief?
As a result, this being of such high status was actually outsmarted by Black Widow!
It made Nick Fury wonder if Black Widow was too outstanding, or if that God of Mischief, Loki, was overrated.
[Also, when Captain America was wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Widow chose to believe in Captain America and worked with him to uncover the truth.]
[They uncovered the truth that S.H.I.E.L.D. had become Hydra-controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.!]
[Finally, she joined forces with Captain America, Falcon, Nick Fury, and Agent Hill to destroy the Insight Project.]
[And in one fell swoop, she also destroyed the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., or rather, Hydra-controlled S.H.I.E.L.D..]
[Although this also created hidden dangers for subsequent events, leading to the falling out between Captain America and Tony Stark.]
But considering the circumstances at the time, Black Widow had done a great job.
They really had dismantled the behemoth that was Hydra with just a few people!
Captain America was wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Tony Stark was only slightly surprised before immediately understanding.
That definitely wasn't an order from S.H.I.E.L.D., but from Hydra!
But what level of person was Captain America? With such a huge influence among the public, any institution that arrested him would definitely cause a huge uproar.
But Hydra still did it.
From this, one could see just how much Hydra had developed and grown after lying dormant for so many years, and what kind of power they had grasped.
Sure enough, the diary immediately provided the answer. S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time wasn't S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore; it was Hydra-controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.
No, Rome wasn't built in a day. Hydra's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. to that extent couldn't have happened overnight.
Even with no brain, anyone could tell it was an extremely long process.
Not just then, but even now, S.H.I.E.L.D. was already Hydra-controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.!
But there was one thing. Hydra ordered the capture of Captain America, and Nick Fury actually agreed?
Was it that Hydra used some kind of conspiracy to successfully frame Captain America?
Or was all of this a setup, originally planned by Captain America and Nick Fury together?
No, neither!
Very quickly, Tony Stark dismissed those two obvious assumptions.
Because the playboy thought of another key thing.
Hydra, due to the Insight Project, sent the Winter Soldier to nearly kill Nick Fury!
And the diary's spoilers were also very clear: Captain America being captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. happened during the Insight Project.
Therefore, at that time, Nick Fury was neither deceived by Hydra nor was he setting up a scheme with Captain America; he had already fallen out with Hydra.
And he was successfully kicked out of S.H.I.E.L.D. by Hydra!
So he could only watch helplessly as Hydra ran rampant.
"Hill!"
Nick Fury, in front of another diary, couldn't help but be moved.
After Coulson, Hawkeye Barton, and Black Widow, the diary finally "certified" another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
Since Hill participated in the actions to destroy the Insight Project and dismantle Hydra, then she was clearly not a Hydra agent.
In an instant.
Agent Hill's standing in Nick Fury's eyes shot up considerably.
It rose to the same level as Coulson, Hawkeye, and Black Widow.
However, there was one thing Fury still couldn't understand.
How, with just a few people, could they have destroyed a behemoth like Hydra?
Was such a thing even possible?
Even a master spy like Nick Fury couldn't figure out how it was done.
The diary even mentioned that Black Widow and the others' actions to destroy Hydra had led to a falling out between Tony Stark and Captain America!
How did Stark get involved?
Did he actually participate in this operation?
What could have caused such a rift between Iron Man and Captain America?
The diary even used the word "falling out," indicating a significant conflict between Iron Man and Captain America.
Tony Stark and Captain America were the two heavy hitters of the Avengers.
Their falling out would inevitably have a huge impact on the entire Avengers team.
It could even lead to the Avengers' splitting up.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Nick Fury had already made up his mind to prevent this from happening! After Infinity War, the Avengers were either slacking off or moving on, with only Black Widow still holding things together.
Stark had returned to his family and was only concerned with his own little life.
Captain America had also let go, attending support groups and carrying on with his life.
Barton had become Ronin, slaughtering gangs to vent his anger.
Captain Marvel was, as always, protecting the universe and couldn't care less about Earth.
Black Widow was the only one who kept at it, trying to find a way to save the half of the Earth's population.
Infinity War?
Tony Stark immediately engraved this term in his mind.
This "Infinity War" was a new battle explicitly mentioned by the diary, following the Battle of New York and Endgame.
Although the diary didn't describe anything about the Infinity War, looking at the reactions of the Avengers after the Infinity War, one could roughly imagine the scale of this war.
The playboy had returned to his family, Captain America seemed to have let go, and Barton looked somewhat despondent.
Everyone's reactions varied, but they all had one thing in common.
They were avoiding it!
What did this mean?
This meant that the cruelty of the Infinity War was such that even someone like him, the great Tony, Captain America, and Hawkeye Barton, had completely given up hope.
Wait, wait a minute!
As thoughts raced, Tony Stark's eyes landed on the description "save half the Earth's population," and he was instantly hit hard.
They were talking about half the Earth's population! What did that even mean? Billions of people! So this "Infinity War," mentioned for the first time, actually resulted in the death of half the Earth's population?
No wonder! No wonder those superheroes, including himself, Tony, were so devastated.
That level of cruelty, no one could bear it, right?
Tony Stark even thought it was amazing the superheroes hadn't gone crazy.
Then, comparing that, Black Widow hadn't given up, she was still persisting.
That kind of mentality, it really wasn't something ordinary people possessed, it was truly admirable!
Even someone as cool and awesome as Tony Stark had to admit that.
"Half of Earth's population?"
"Half!?"
Tony Stark's expression shifted slightly.
The diary had mentioned earlier that the Purple Potato had wiped out half the life in the entire universe!
If half of Earth's population was killed, wouldn't that fit the description perfectly?
So, the battle where the Purple Potato wiped out half the universe's life was Infinity War?
I never imagined Infinity War would be such a brutal battle!
How did he do it?
How exactly did the Purple Potato accomplish all of this?
What method did he use to kill half the life in the universe?
Tony Stark clenched his fist slightly, a surge of anger welling up inside him.
His mind raced, desperately trying to figure out the answer to this question.
But it was a pity.
Without relevant information, Tony Stark couldn't come to a definitive conclusion.
It was also because of Black Widow's persistence, her steadfastness at the base day after day, that she finally waited for Ant-Man.
Otherwise, that half of the population wiped out on Earth would truly never have returned.
So, those who survived the "Blip" really need to thank Ant-Man.
Who would have thought that a convict who had been in prison, a thief, would one day become a savior?
Speaking of which, Ant-Man should still be in prison, right? He hasn't been released yet, has he?
"Ant-Man?"
Nick Fury's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.
Although the diary didn't directly state it, the meaning was very clear: Ant-Man had saved half the population of Earth!
It worked!
Someone in the future had actually managed to resurrect the dead!
In fact, Nick Fury had been secretly undertaking a top-secret project called the "T.A.H.I.T.I. Project," which studied how to revive dead S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
But, how to put it…
This project had always had major flaws, causing mental confusion and extreme pain.
So, strictly speaking, it was imperfect, and there were even many people internally who wanted to halt the project.
Fury didn't expect that Ant-Man would overcome this problem in the future.
However, even so, resurrecting billions of dead people on Earth was still too shocking, wasn't it?
That's simply unimaginable!
Even if the Tahiti Project had been perfected and could be put into immediate use, it still wouldn't be able to achieve this!
So, how exactly did Ant-Man do it?
Also, there's the "Blip." That's a new term.
But judging by the context, it should refer to the event where half of Earth's population was brought back.
That's not hard to understand, no need to dwell on it.
However, a criminal? A thief?
Hank Pym has never committed a crime or been a thief!
Especially now that he's supposedly in prison, that's even more ridiculous.
The current Hank Pym is a business tycoon, you know?
