Chapter 619 Hope
a few days later
The Insight mission was successfully launched.

Tony Stark avenged the murder of his father and mother, while Steve Rogers was imprisoned within S.H.I.E.L.D.

At that moment, Smith Doyle sat in the director's office, looked at Sharon Carter, and said:
"The Ministry of Supervision is now in your hands."

Sharon Carter immediately said:

"Thank you for your guidance, sir."

As Sharon Carter left, Smith Doyle looked at Natasha beside him and asked:
What's the current situation inside S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Natasha began her report:

"The vampire clan has now infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., and is currently reviewing the Hydra list provided by Marcus."

"In addition to S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, some senators and businessmen have also been recruited as Hydra members."

"The capture of Hydra members has already begun."

"The number of Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. far exceeds my expectations."

"Many tasks will be brought to a standstill as a result, and even half of the three space carriers of Project Insight are Hydra agents."

"In addition, Nick Fury took Commander Hill away, and also paid compensation for Sam and bailed him out."

"If it weren't for the existence of the vampire clan, I would even think that S.H.I.E.L.D. might as well just be destroyed."

Hearing Natasha's complaint, Smith Doyle chuckled and said:
"We can gather the power of the Avengers to launch an operation to strike and completely destroy Hydra's secret base."

"As for the Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D., the capture operation must be swift; just don't let them escape."

"As for the pain caused by the loss of personnel, we have to bear it."

"Once Hydra is completely eliminated, this will be a brand new S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Regarding the manpower shortage, we can take those students from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy who have not yet graduated and have a clean background and are eligible for early graduation!"

Upon hearing Smith Doyle's arrangement, Natasha opened her mouth and then spoke:
"The only good news is that there are no Hydra members in the Avengers."

"But the captain..."

Smith Doyle asked:
"What happened to Steve?"

Natasha said:
“I went to see him, but he remained silent.”

"Bucky's death hit him hard."

"The main problem is that he lacks confidence in reviving Bucky; the World Martial Arts Tournament would be too difficult for him."

Hearing Steve's somewhat dejected tone, Smith Doyle thought for a moment and then said to Natasha:
"You tell him this... like this... and then..."

Natasha's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously:
"Is it really possible?"

Smith Doyle nodded and said:

"Go ahead, everyone has a chance."

Natasha walked out excitedly and went straight to the room where Steve was being held.

Although it was called a detention, there was no one guarding it. Even the main door didn't require any additional authentication to unlock; Natasha simply pushed open the door and went inside.

At this moment, Steve was curled up on a single bed, his numb expression unchanged.

In just a few days, he lost two loved ones: Bucky was killed by Tony, and then he learned of Peggy Carter's death while in custody. The double blow left him somewhat despondent.

Natasha sighed as she looked at the lifeless Steve Rogers, then knelt down beside him and slowly began to speak:
"Chief Smith said that none of this is your fault, the real fault lies with Hydra."

"Although Hydra's leader Pierce is dead, Hydra's bases have not been completely destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Steve's expression changed slightly, but he remained curled up on the bed without making any movement.

Natasha continued:
"Go and eliminate the remaining Hydras, do the right thing, and accumulate merit."

"Chief Smith said he would give you a chance to make a wish."

Upon hearing about the limited number of people allowed to make a wish, Steve said in a hoarse voice:
"Bucky, Page~"

The next second, Steve Rogers' eyes regained their focus, and he immediately sat up, looking at Natasha and saying:

Where is Hydra's base?

Seeing the changes in Steve, Natasha spoke up:
"Avengers Assemble, Head to Hydra Base!"

······
the other side.

Nick Fury led Hill and Sam to his tombstone.

Hill then asked:
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is no longer involved with us, so what about the island I was in charge of..."

Nick Fury took out his black cube toolbox and then said:
"How could a top agent not have a backup plan?"

"The project you're in charge of isn't in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s records; it belongs to my secret base."

"It's a pity that Coulson's Tahiti project will have to be left to Smith Doyle."

"But don't worry, I've already gained the support of some people who will help me set up a new department."

"Heavenly Sword Bureau!"

“I won’t make the same mistake again this time, and I’ve called in a powerful reinforcement.”

At that moment, Nick Fury took Captain Marvel's pager out of his trench coat pocket and made a call.

The distress signal has been sent, and it is believed that the other party will return to Earth soon.

······
the other side.

On an Airbus aircraft.

Inside the detention room, Ward sat in the interrogation chair and loudly argued:

"You're the one who let me board the plane."

“You chose me, Coulson.”

"I did not do anything to betray the team."

Coulson said with a serious expression:

“That’s not what I’m asking, Agent Ward.”

Ward said:

“Garrett was killed while besieging Earth to fight the Kree. We shouldn’t slander a fallen senior agent.” “He was my supervisor at S.H.I.E.L.D., and also my mentor.”

Coulson loudly questioned:
"Then why is he a Hydra?"

"Ward, now tell me your true identity. Are you a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent or a Hydra agent?"

Unaware of the dramatic changes that had taken place within S.H.I.E.L.D., Ward retorted:

"Wasn't Hydra destroyed a long time ago?"

"Why use the identity of someone who is already dead to slander the identity of a fallen agent?"

Upon hearing Ward's statement, Coulson began to speak:
"Ward, you still have a chance to explain yourself to me before the plane lands at S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"Once you are taken away by the Ministry of Supervision, you will have no chance whatsoever."

"You have ten minutes to think about it."

After saying that, Coulson walked out of the cell and went outside.

At this moment, Mei walked over and asked:
"Well, have you confessed?"

Coulson shook his head and said:
"No, he's still persisting."

"How's it going at headquarters? Has it really changed that much?"

Mei nodded and said:
"We have just made contact with S.H.I.E.L.D., and the changes at S.H.I.E.L.D. are so significant that neither you nor I could have imagined them."

"It's not just Ward, our whole team will be investigated later."

Coulson walked into the conference room and began to speak:
"Tell me about the situation first, and I'll decide whether to inform the whole team."

Mei began to speak:
"Not long ago, our boss Nick Fury was attacked and was initially pronounced dead, but was later confirmed to be alive."

"However, he stepped down as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and was succeeded by Smith Doyle."

"Former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Alexander Pierce has been confirmed as a Hydra member, and Director Smith has obtained a list of Hydra members. Currently, Hydra members within S.H.I.E.L.D. have been arrested, and a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have been placed under quarantine for investigation."

"Among them, Garrett, a senior agent who was investigated before Hydra was exposed but has already sacrificed his life, has been identified as a senior member of Hydra, nicknamed Clairvoyant."

"Although Ward's situation has not been made public, you should understand that the Oversight Department began investigating Ward before Hydra was exposed, and his fate is self-evident."

Coulson rubbed his head, looking a bit of a headache, and then asked:
"Are they even targeting agents who have already sacrificed their lives this time?"

"I thought that since the people were all dead, they would have a chance to land safely."

Mei shook her head and said:
"Have you forgotten those who died in the Battle of New York and then came back to life?"

"What if he is resurrected later if his identity is not confirmed?"

Coulson nodded in understanding.

"In that case, notify everyone and inform them of the interrogation process after landing at S.H.I.E.L.D. center."

Mei opened her mouth and said:

"Okay, I'll notify everyone to come over."

······
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Smith Doyle had already removed all of Nick Fury's permissions and began browsing through S.H.I.E.L.D.'s various encrypted intelligence reports and base information.

With encrypted intelligence and access privileges reserved for the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Smith Doyle saw a great deal of information.

This included the Tahiti Project, which studied the bodies of the Kree, and was led by Phil Coulson. They saw the Ice Prison and the hidden laboratories beneath it, designed for the superhumans.

The extraordinary laboratory beneath the Ice Prison was ordered to be abolished by Nick Fury three years ago, but the information and intelligence from that time are still recorded there.

Before his birth sparked the supernatural wave, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research on supernatural beings was anything but polite. The methods were extremely cruel, including blood extraction, marrow extraction, skinning, flesh cutting, high temperature, freezing, and all sorts of other tests. Anyone deemed unacceptable or harmful by S.H.I.E.L.D. did not fare well.

As for the slingshot base as a cover and the warehouse storing 084 items, Smith Doyle knew very well about them through his permissions.

Even in the files, Smith Doyle found experimental records about the super-soldier serum, as well as intelligence on the only surviving former black super-soldier.

"Nick Fury, you've got some serious tricks up your sleeve."

"Some operations are even more hydra-like than Hydra."

Despite having seen a lot of intelligence information, Smith Doyle still frowned. He couldn't find the series of secret bases that Coulson had established when he took over S.H.I.E.L.D., or the clone agent, in the files.

Although he didn't find Coulson's secret bases for rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D., Smith Doyle found someone who interested him.

S.H.I.E.L.D. secret agent—the extraordinary Ghost Woman.

Ghost's abilities could kill ordinary superhumans on sight, but that wasn't what interested Smith Doyle. What interested him was Ghost's quantum state, a state between nothingness and substance. What truly concerned him was the quantum realm.

If we were to say what he cares about in the current timeline, there are only a few things, one of which is Kang, who has been exiled in the quantum realm, and the other is the quantum realm itself.

If Kang exists in the quantum realm, Smith Doyle isn't too worried. Kang relies on technological means, and without energy, his abilities cannot be powered. He's confident he can crush Kang directly from inside.

His concern is that the quantum realm has no Kang, but rather a quantum virus.

If it's a quantum virus, then there's a risk of it developing into a zombie universe. Although he has great confidence in his abilities, Smith Doyle still has to be somewhat concerned about a quantum virus that can infect everything.

He decided to have Bulma come and study Ghost's state and the quantum world behind him. As for Ant-Man, he needed to treat it with caution.

If the other party recklessly opens the quantum channel and brings back the quantum virus instead of Janet, things will get complicated and we need to take precautions. He doesn't want to face an army of zombies. By the way, can this thing be removed by a dragon's wish?
In addition to this, another thing that interested Smith Doyle was the black monolith that the Hydra family possessed, which led to the planet where the Hive was located.

This thing is currently being held on a S.H.I.E.L.D. destroyer. This black stone will turn into liquid after being exposed to shockwaves of a certain frequency. Anyone who enters it will be transported to the planet where the Hive is located.

It was a desolate and barren planet. Originally, there was a decent civilization on the planet, but it was devoured and parasitized by the Hive, which sparked a war and eventually turned it into nothingness.

Now, apart from the Hive, there is no life on the entire planet except for the man who was temporarily spared by the Hive.

Smith Doyle wasn't worried about Hive, that parasitic creature. With his strength, Hive had no chance of parasitizing him; a single gas blast would make it vanish into thin air.

However, this planet has water and some plants, so theoretically it can be used as a sapling for the Spirit Tree. Secondly, it can also be one of the places where the future Red Ultimate Dragon can make a wish.

It's a good alternative; this needs to be transferred to headquarters.

······
While Smith Doyle was reviewing intelligence information within S.H.I.E.L.D. and searching for useful 084 items, on the Marauder ship in space...

One of Yondu's men ran over and said:
"Boss, here's the latest bounty."

"Location: Earth; Bounty: Dragon Balls, seven in total, one hundred million Star Coins each!"

Yondu's eyes lit up when he heard the bounty offered by his subordinate.
