Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 601 Taking Down Nick Fury
Steve Rogers arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident headquarters and went straight to Nick Fury's office, where he immediately questioned him:
"All you do is lie, isn't that it?"

Nick Fury had clearly already seen Natasha's report, and began to speak:
“I’m not lying, Agent Romanov’s mission is different from yours.”

Steve walked up to Nick Fury and continued questioning him:

"Don't you have an obligation to share information with me?"

Nick Fury was sitting with his back to Steve, not even facing him directly.

I have no obligation to do anything for you.

Steve Rogers said with a serious expression:
“The hostages may all die, Nick.”

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury turned to Steve and said:
"So I sent the best soldiers ever to save their lives."

Steve retorted:

"Soldiers need to trust each other, and the army also relies on trust."

"Instead of letting everyone fire indiscriminately."

Nick Fury stood up, looked at Steve, and said loudly:
"Last time I trusted someone, and I lost an eye."

Clearly, this isn't the first time Nick Fury has used his injured eye to fabricate stories; in reality, his eye was gouged out by a Flerken.

Then Nick Fury, his voice returning to normal, said:
"I don't want to assign you tasks that you don't want to do."

"There's nothing that Agent Romanov doesn't want to do."

Steve, however, wasn't buying Nick Fury's act and instead said:
"My men are all doing their own thing, how am I supposed to lead a team to carry out a mission?"

Nick Fury countered:
"That's called each person doing their own job."

"No one leaked the secret because everyone only knew part of it."

Steve scoffed:

"except you."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Nick Fury's expression turned serious, and he then said:
You've misjudged me.

"I will share."

"Because I'm a really good person."

He then led Steve Rogers toward the direct elevator in the office:
"Today, I'm going to share a very important secret with you."

Once inside the elevator, Nick Fury said directly:

"Project Insight Bay"

The machine next to him recognized Nick Fury after he entered and showed that he had passed.

However, an alarm sounded immediately after Steve Rogers entered.

"Captain Rogers does not have access to Project Insight."

Nick Fury said:

“Overstepping authority, Director Nicholas J. Fury.”

"Authorization confirmed, successful."

With authorization granted, the elevator doors closed and began to descend slowly.

Steve looked at the AI ​​program in the elevator and said:
"The elevator used to play music."

Nick Fury responded, "Yeah."

“My grandfather worked as an elevator operator for 40 years. The building he worked in was pretty good, and he earned a lot in tips.”

“When he comes home at night, there’s a big roll of one dollar in his lunch bag.”

"He greets people, and they respond."

"Later, as society declined, when he greeted people, they would say, 'Stop talking nonsense.'"

"He has to be careful with his lunch bag at all times."

Steve asked:
"Has he been robbed?"

Nick Fury smiled and then said:

“Every week, some thugs would ask him, ‘What’s in the bag?’”

"What should we do? Let's show it to them."

"A bunch of worn-out one-dollar bills, and a loaded .22 Magnum."

Steve nodded upon seeing this, without saying anything more.

Clearly, Nick Fury told this story intentionally to set the stage for the upcoming Insight Project.

I saw him continue:
"My grandfather likes other people, but he doesn't trust them very much."

As the elevator descended, Steve was shocked by the underground facilities and the hidden space carrier inside.

Looking at the shocked Steve, Nick Fury said:
"Yes, it is a bit bigger than Magnum."

Three massive space carriers were moored on the ground. One by one, Quinjet fighters were lifted and placed onto the decks of the space carriers. Huge artillery systems stood on the decks of the space carriers, with cannons protruding all around, indicating their terrifying power.

Clearly, the space carrier before him was far more powerful than the one he had boarded before.

As the two stepped out of the elevator, Nick Fury introduced them to each other:
"This is Project Insight, a helicopter carrier three generations ahead of its time, connected to positioning satellites."

Steve asked:
"A satellite launched by the Lemuria satellite."

Nick Fury continued:

"Once it's in the air, there's no need to land; the new engines can continue suborbital flight."

"Was it designed by Stark?"

Nick Fury nodded and said:
“He looked at the old turbocharged engine and gave us some advice.”

"These long-range precision-guided weapons can eliminate a thousand enemies per minute."

“Terrorists don’t need to show their faces; satellites can read their DNA. We can nip many dangers in the bud.”

Steve retorted:

"It is the people who do bad things who should be punished."

Nick Fury explained:
"We can't wait for others to do bad things."

"In addition, it can also monitor and identify aliens that suddenly appear on Earth."

"The last time the Kree attacked, our early warning system didn't detect them at all until they launched a large-scale attack."

"For this, we even sacrificed our first first-generation space carrier."

"What we need to do now is to prepare for the future. The existence of the Dragon Balls has attracted the attention of countless people."

"I believe the Kree are not the only forces that invaded because of the Dragon Balls, nor will they be the last aliens to invade."

Steve paused for two seconds and then asked:
"who are we?"

Nick Fury looked at Steve and said:
“After the Chitauri invasion, I convinced the World Security Council that we needed quantum-level precision threat analysis, and this time we are far ahead of the curve.”

"The Kree invasion has prompted the World Security Council to increase its investment in this area. If the project goes smoothly, it will produce more space carriers, truly achieving 24/7 coverage around the world."

Steve looked at the busy people around him and said:
Pointing a gun at everyone, is that what you call protection?

"Do you think this thing would be useful against a Kree mothership of that caliber?"

Nick Fury looked at Steve and said:

"How will you know it won't work if you don't try?"

"The individual Kree ships did not demonstrate high defensive capabilities; only the mothership's strength exceeded our expectations."

"However, space carriers can precisely lock onto and deliver nuclear weapons for nuclear strikes in suborbital space. I believe that even their motherships will not be unaffected."

"Of course, the existence of space carriers and the Insight Project is for early warning of alien motherships."

"If we can detect it in advance, civilian casualties can be minimized."

Just like Ronan after this landing, as long as they are in no man's land, Nick Fury dares to drop tactical nuclear bombs, or even high-yield nuclear bombs, on the enemy. He really wants to see if those terrifyingly powerful aliens can withstand the attack of nuclear bombs.

However, this is just Nick Fury's idea. Of course, as a precaution, the nuclear warheads have not yet been delivered to the space carrier that has not yet taken off.

Nick Fury continued:

"I've read the Strategic Scientific Corps' documents, the greatest generation?" "You've done a lot of shady things."

Steve looked at Nick Fury and nodded, saying:
"Yes, we compromised."

"Sometimes this keeps us up at night, but we are doing it for the freedom of the people."

Then, pointing to the space carrier, he said:

"But that's not freedom, that's fear."

Nick Fury persuaded Steve again:

“S.H.I.E.L.D. accepts the world as it is, instead of changing it according to its own wishes. It’s a bit too late for you to start that plan now, Captain.”

So don't get your hopes up too high.

The conversation between Steve Rogers and Nick Fury ended badly. It was clear that the Captain did not approve of the other's code of conduct that threatened all of humanity, especially the idea of ​​preemptively eliminating him through DNA, which was even more unacceptable to Steve.

Steve would never accept the idea of ​​directly judging and killing someone who has never committed a crime.

However, Steve Rogers approves of the warnings about extraterrestrial life.

The two alien invasions have caused considerable pain to the people of New York, especially this time when all countries lost some superhumans and all 137 contestants were attacked.

Steve Rogers drove his Harley Street 750 away from the Trident Building and arrived at the St. Louis Memorial.

There are many antique airplanes here, as well as a Steve Memorial.

Here, Steve saw a biography about his life, some of his own videos, and an introduction to his former best friend Bucky Barnes.

In addition, he saw images of his former lover, Peggy Carter, and a description of her that said Peggy Carter never married.

Seeing Peggy Carter in the video still as beautiful and charming as ever, Steve Rogers looked somewhat pained. He had already met Peggy Carter, but he couldn't get the Dragon Ball that would make her young again.

Let alone making Peggy Carter young again, he couldn't even convince Smith Doyle to directly resurrect those who died during the Kree invasion.

As for the super soldier serum that Howard replicated, he also consulted Howard.

However, the result was that Peggy Carter's body simply could not withstand the modifications of the Super Soldier Serum, and she would die on the spot.

Thinking about this made Steve Rogers' expression even more pained. If there was no other way, he could only face it calmly. But even if there was hope, he couldn't realize it because of his own abilities, which also caused him some inner turmoil.

Steve Rogers took one last look at the young Peggy Carter on the screen before leaving the museum.

······
the other side.

Smith Doyle was sitting in his S.H.I.E.L.D. office, having already read Natasha's entire report on the mission.

After reflecting on the plot of Captain America 2, he came up with a very good angle.

That is to make Nick Fury, who faked his death, truly die this time. He was very dissatisfied with Nick Fury, who always made a mess of things. The fact that the aliens under his command could carry out a secret invasion made him feel disgusted.

Having blood allows you to possess the other's superpowers. That's even more outrageous than Cell. Cell needed genes and Android 17 and 18 to evolve, but that thing just casually created a hodgepodge.

In addition, over the years, he has created a lot of messes. As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he didn't even detect the Hydra intrusion. If Pierce hadn't insisted on pushing through Project Insight to get rid of Nick Fury, Hydra would never have been exposed.

As for the fact that after Nick Fury's death, he no longer had the authority to access all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files or to check on the situation of Hydra members, Smith Doyle was not worried at all.

His vampire clan can access memories through blood, making it incredibly easy for them to identify spies and Hydra members.

As for who will take over S.H.I.E.L.D. after Nick Fury's death, he is the obvious choice.

It seems I'll need to lend a hand to Pierce's assassination attempt. Natasha and Yelena are good candidates; the question is how to arrange it discreetly and without leaving a trace.

In addition, Smith Doyle also wanted to see which version of Nick Fury was on his side.

After he truly dies, can he return again?

······
Trident Building.

As Steve left, Nick Fury suddenly spoke up:

"Closed office."

He then took out the USB drive that Natasha had handed over and plugged it into the computer's port.

"Open the launch files for the Lemuria satellite."

The voice of strong artificial intelligence resounded:
"Didi - Access Denied"

"Run decryption".

"Decryption failed."

Nick Fury looked at the screen displaying "Decryption failed" and said again:
“Overstepping authority, Director Nicholas J. Fury.”

However, after a short reading, the sound rang out again:
"Authorization failed, all files are archived."

Upon hearing that the authorization had failed, Nick Fury asked in confusion:

"Whose order?"

“Nicholas J. Fury”.

Upon hearing that it was his own order, Nick Fury sensed something was wrong; how could he not know the order he himself had given?

Keeping this in mind, Nick Fury went to the elevator and gave the order:
"World Security Council".

The elevator doors closed quickly, heading upstairs to where the Security Council was holding its meeting.

Upstairs in the meeting, Pierce was facing difficulties from members of the Security Council.

One of the security council members, who was presented with a virtual image, said:
“If Nick Fury thinks his masked man and commandos can handle the trouble he’s caused, he’s sorely mistaken.”

"This mistake cannot be tolerated."

Another Security Council member said:

"Given that the attack occurred just one mile from our waters, I'm afraid that's not enough. I want to hold a hearing."

Another female council member, however, refused:
"We don't need hearings, we need action."

"The Council's responsibility is to oversee S.H.I.E.L.D."

At this point, a member of the Security Council spoke up:

"This issue has raised many questions, and we have serious doubts about Nick Fury's abilities as director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Another Security Council member also said:
"For example, how could a French pirate hijack a classified S.H.I.E.L.D. warship in broad daylight?"

After listening to the speeches of the board members, Pierce Alexander began:

"Just to clarify, board member."

"He is Algerian."

“If needed, we can draw a map.”

The British council member scoffed:
"Thank you for your wisdom, Minister Pierce."

"But the council takes international piracy very seriously."

Pierce took off his glasses and said nonchalantly:

"is it?"

"I don't care."

"I don't care about a single ship or vessel, I care about the entire fleet."

"If the council gets into trouble over something minor, they'll criticize me. Doesn't that mean we need someone to supervise us?"

Upon hearing Pierce's suggestion to establish a higher-level oversight body within the Security Council, a council member quickly remarked:

"Mr. Minister, we didn't mean..."

At that moment, Pierce's secretary came over and whispered in his ear:
"Minister, Chief Nick Fury is here."

Pierce nodded, then addressed the council members:

"excuse me."

The British council member asked:

"Is there trouble again, Minister?"

As Pierce walked out, he said:
"It depends on how you define trouble."
