A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 180 Sweep

When Levi suddenly revealed that he wasn't blind and wanted to use his authority to expose S.H.I.E.L.D.'s affairs, Nick Fury naturally refused to comply.

However, Levi controlled Nick Fury's actions with just a mind control technique (the Priest's Mind-Bending Glyph).

Seeing this, Coulson and Melinda tried to rescue their superior, but were immediately subdued by the two captains.

In contrast, Alexander Pierce, knowing he had nowhere to escape, was much more cooperative.

With the two Class A personnel granted access, all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal documents, after being screened and confirmed by Jarvis, were uploaded to the Internet.

Although Tony and Reeves wanted to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D., they didn't act as recklessly as Natasha and Captain America did in Captain America 2.

After all, their goal was simply to dismantle S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, this troublesome hub.

Instead of wanting to completely break with the five major powers and disrupt the world.

Therefore, Jarvis filtered out sensitive information involving the five countries' official authorities and some weapon technology data that only S.H.I.E.L.D. possessed, made backups, and then sent them to the official agencies of the five countries respectively.

What's actually being put on the internet are only some of the actions of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, as well as information about individuals with shady pasts.

As the world's leading intelligence agency, even without Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. has countless scandals.

Besides allowing the Skrulls to infiltrate all sectors of society, there are many other actions that have infringed upon the interests of the five big bosses.

In this situation, even the five big bosses who previously opposed the alliance's disbandment of S.H.I.E.L.D. are unlikely to want to retain S.H.I.E.L.D. afterwards.

Of course, Levi and Tony were well aware that disbanding S.H.I.E.L.D. was merely a temporary solution.

Before long, the five big bosses will probably reorganize one or more similar organizations, such as the new Shield and Sky Sword Bureau reorganized from the original timeline.

But Levi and Tony didn't care.

To some extent, S.H.I.E.L.D. is merely a stepping stone for the Alliance to officially open up, and also a chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys.

Once the data analysis and upload were complete, Li Wei reopened the portal, leading the alliance members and the two captains back to the Skybreaker.

Then, at Tony's signal, Natasha deactivated her invisibility and disappeared into the sky with the Iron Legion.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D.?

At this point, it was under the command of General Ross and completely taken over by the military.

The Hydra members, including Alexander Pierce, as well as the Hydra list held by the Alliance, were all handed over to the military.

Even Nick Fury, Coulson, and Melinda were all taken away.

When something this big happens, someone has to take the blame.

The strength displayed by the League goes without saying, not to mention Iron Man Tony Stark, Wizard Levi, the two captains, and a host of superpowered individuals—although the two captains did not actually join the League, neither Tony nor Levi, nor even the two captains themselves, would proactively explain this.

A single steel legion is enough to make all forces wary.

Unable to ascertain the alliance's true intentions, even the five major powers were unwilling to directly confront this mysterious force.

Therefore, the blame for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions can only be borne by Alexander Pierce and other Hydra agents, as well as Nick Fury and other former S.H.I.E.L.D. veterans.

They will face a long period of scrutiny.

Especially Nick Fury, whose Skrull affairs have crossed the line with the Big Five.

The five big bosses wouldn't feel at ease unless they dug out all the Skrulls hiding around them and put them under centralized control.

Moreover, in this matter, the five big bosses had to seek help from the alliance.

Because only the Alliance possessed the technology to detect Skrulls using portable methods.

But that's a story for another time.

After leaving the Tri-Wing headquarters, the Skybreaker did not rush back to the Alliance headquarters. Instead, based on the intelligence that Levi and his team had obtained from S.H.I.E.L.D., they prepared to continue to clean up the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. bases.

The first stop was S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in New York.

This is the largest S.H.I.E.L.D. base in North America, besides the Tri-Wing Building.

This is the place where Captain America awakens in Captain America 1, and where Nick Fury recruits Tony in Iron Man 2.

It is hidden in a very ordinary office building and underground in Manhattan.

When the Alliance arrived, gunfire continued inside the building, clearly indicating that the infighting between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra within the base was still ongoing—after Tony's words exposed Alexander Pierce's identity, he secretly issued orders for Hydra to "revolt" at various S.H.I.E.L.D. bases.

However, compared to other bases, the number of Hydra agents at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York base does not seem to be that many.

When the Alliance arrived, Hydra's armed forces had already been suppressed in a small area.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Alliance, the agents here wisely chose to give way.

Since these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were so sensible, the Alliance members naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them. After dealing with the stubborn Hydra, Levi swept the 084 warehouse clean and then quickly rushed to the next base—S.H.I.E.L.D.'s second largest base in the world after the Tri-Wing Building, the HUB, which is also an important base that appeared in the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

The hub is not in North America, but in Guyana, South America.

The supreme commander is Victoria Hand, a Level 8 agent.

Compared to the small-scale skirmishes at the New York S.H.I.E.L.D. base, the battles here, being S.H.I.E.L.D.'s second largest base, are much more intense.

They used all sorts of heavy weapons, and you could even see some energy weapons from the Hydra era.

Meanwhile, fighter jets occasionally attempted to take off, but were quickly shot down.

The battle was extremely intense.

As for why there's such a big commotion inside S.H.I.E.L.D. while the local military hasn't made a move at all... don't be ridiculous. Gaia has less than 4,000 military personnel in its entire country, and its military strength is basically dependent on US military aid. Otherwise, it would have been beaten to a pulp by its neighbor Venezuela long ago, so there wouldn't be any territorial disputes.

As S.H.I.E.L.D.'s largest military base besides the Curved Wing, the Hub has more than four thousand agents.

The Gaianan military would never dare to provoke such a reaction.

In contrast, the league has fewer concerns.

The Steel Legion directly joined the battle and completely suppressed Hydra in just a few minutes.

Then I met Commander Victoria Hand.

However, compared to Victoria Hand, Levi was more interested in a young man behind her.

"Grant Ward?" Levi asked, looking at the other person.

"I am!" Grant Ward had a bad feeling, but out of consideration for his superior, he didn't lie.

Li Wei waved his hand, and a nearby steel soldier fired a stun gun, knocking the Hydra dormant agent unconscious.

Upon seeing this, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents raised their guns, but were immediately stopped by Victoria Hand.

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Victoria Hand asked Levi after glancing at the unconscious Grant Ward.

"He was a dormant agent of Hydra, as was his mentor, John Garrett," Levi replied. Of course, there was no need to mention that Victoria Hand would be killed by Grant Ward in the original timeline.

Then, without waiting for the other party to react, he disappeared from the spot, avoiding everyone, and went to collect 084's items.

Subsequently, Levi and Tony led the Alliance on a tour of all the marked S.H.I.E.L.D. bases, including the slingshot, sandbox, and cold storage, under the guise of suppressing the Hydra rebellion, to loot valuable 084 items.

Some of the more iconic ones include obelisks, the Blackrock portal, and so on...

It must be said that the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. has bases all over the world is truly astonishing to the Alliance members.

Even Peggy Carter was amazed—when she was director, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't have that many bases.
