He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

He had this idea back then.

However, while S.H.I.E.L.D. has a good relationship with the White House, it does not get along well with its various departments and is even viewed with hostility.

In particular, the military and FBI.

Before S.H.I.E.L.D. was established, they were the world's police, and the United States was the biggest country in the world.

But now, it has been replaced by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although it was established as a special department to prevent crises hidden on Earth and from outer space, in their view, this honor should also be bestowed upon the United States, not some unknown organization jointly funded by the United Nations.

Therefore, the military has been committed to creating super soldiers and developing more advanced weapons and equipment, with military spending increasing year by year, and has never given up trying to replace S.H.I.E.L.D.

Given this context, if Fury were to point a gun at a Defense Department office director, if the president were to personally confer the rank of Army brigadier general, or if he were to point missiles at U.S. troops on U.S. soil... even if there were a reason, it would absolutely spiral out of control under the manipulation of those U.S. officials who are hostile to the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But now, things have become even worse than we feared before.

If he had stopped Talbot at the time, he would at most have been removed from his position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now, this could very well trigger a full-blown war between the US military and the Vongola.

The Vongola family has only shown a fraction of their power, yet it has already caused enormous losses to the military. If they were to fully unleash their power, it would be impossible to predict the extent to which they would achieve such a feat.

After all, the Vongola family not only possesses extraordinary power, but also displays weapons with extremely high technological levels, and there seems to be a possibility of time travel, so they cannot be dealt with in the same way as usual.

In the end, he underestimated the Vongola family.

I felt that no matter what happened, the outcome wouldn't be worse than his threat to the US brigadier general.

As a result, Vongola killed everyone in an instant, and the American troops didn't even have time to surrender.

(Ultimately, it's because we're not strong enough. If we were strong enough, we wouldn't be in such a passive position!) Fury took a deep breath, bringing his thoughts back to reality.

He gave Tsuna a meaningful look and said, "I hope the Vongola will keep their promise to meet again today!"

"The Vongola Family never goes back on its word!"

“I hope so!” Fury put his hands in his pockets and walked toward the car, instructing as he went, “Barton, take General Talbot with you. Hill, tell the White House about this and request that S.H.I.E.L.D. take over the follow-up.”

"Yes!"

……

Convenience store.

"They're all dead!"

Gu Qing looked at the people coming and going outside the door, her expression somewhat melancholy.

Today, unusually, he didn't go out and fool around, but stayed home to mind the shop. Without being distracted by other things, he naturally had a clear understanding of the real-time situation of each doll, including the Vongola.

From the moment Fury arrived to begin negotiations, to the arrival of the army, and finally to Chrome using illusions to kill people, he was in complete control of the situation from the very beginning.

He could have stopped Chrome from killing, but he didn't.

Because he knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later.

From the day he allowed Muzan and the Twelve Demon Moons to do as they pleased for his own selfish desires, he knew this day would come sooner or later, even though he imposed the restriction that "the target must be someone who deserves to die."

Because human desires are insatiable.

When he takes the first step for the sake of prayer points, he will take an even bigger second step, a third step, and so on, endlessly, for the sake of prayer points.

Perhaps, in the end, he will slaughter all the multiverses in order to reach the same level as AAO.

Moreover, when committing murder, one must be prepared to be killed.

As the rule-maker, the United States acts superior, defining all opponents as guilty and making arbitrary judgments... So, when the rules are broken, who defines the crime and who imposes sanctions?

Of course, it's the new rule-makers.

Only the strong can make the rules!

Gu Qing took out a cigarette, lit it, took a slow drag, and then slowly exhaled, his expression returning to normal. "Six hundred soldiers contributed six thousand three hundred prayer points, Barton contributed one thousand six hundred, and Fury contributed two thousand one hundred. That's enough for another hundred consecutive draws!"

Chapter Forty-Nine: Guo Haihuang

[Ding! You have obtained an F-rank doll fragment!]

[Ding! You have obtained a C-grade doll fragment!]

[Ding! You have obtained an E-grade doll fragment!]

[Ding! You have obtained a B-grade doll fragment!]

……

……

The opening scene was still a series of doll fragments, which Gu Qing was already used to, calmly smoking a cigarette.

[Ding! You have obtained an F-rank doll fragment!]

[Ding! You have obtained a C-grade doll fragment!]

[Ding! You have obtained an E-grade doll fragment!]

[Ding! You have obtained the C-rank doll "Retsu Kaioh"!]

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice that suddenly appeared in the system, Gu Qing looked over and saw a centenarian wearing a purple Tang suit, with a thin and frail body and a face full of wrinkles and blemishes.

His information panel then appeared.

Name: Guo Haihuang

Race: Human

Occupation: Martial Artist

[Skills: Advanced Martial Arts, Energy Dissipation, Turtle Breathing Technique]

Special Abilities: None

[Rank: C-level Seven Stars]

"It turned out to be him!"

After seeing the newly summoned puppet, Gu Qing was slightly surprised.

This Chinese martial artist from the world of "Baki" represents the pinnacle of martial arts in that world. With the body of an ordinary centenarian, relying on ultimate martial arts skills, he can easily blast spider web-like cracks about five meters in diameter into a reinforced concrete wall with a light wave of his hand. His martial arts skills far surpass those of Captain America, who represents the pinnacle of Marvel...

This is not meant to belittle the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but rather to state the facts.

Because in Marvel's concept of the supreme being above all things, power and development are inseparable, and development is closely related to science, so everything in Marvel, both natural and non-natural, has the shadow of science.

For example, the magic of Kamar-Taj... cannot achieve the desired effect directly with magical energy, but you can use magical energy to construct various tools and then use those tools to achieve the desired effect.

So you'll see the Sorcerer Supreme conjure weapons to hit people instead of blasting them away with energy; you'll see sorcerers need to construct portals to travel through space instead of relying on magical energy to physically traverse it; and you'll see Doctor Strange unable to imprison people out of thin air, but able to conjure rope-like things to restrain them.

Not only mages, but also gods.

The gods of the Nine Realms are all born extraordinary, yet the development of both magic and divine power bears the imprint of technology.

The creator god, Grunt, can easily create weapons that can destroy a planet with a single blow using his divine power, but he himself cannot destroy a planet with a single blow.

The legendary celestial beings are depicted as robots the size of planets.

Under this premise, the development of close-quarters combat techniques cannot involve things like martial arts will or punches that can shake mountains and rivers in a fantasy world; instead, it is all about punches that land with the force of physics, in accordance with the laws of mechanics.

When mortals fight, they roll up their sleeves and go for it. Heavenly Father, gods, multiverse gods, omnipotent cosmic gods... no matter what level of power you are, as long as it's close combat, they're all just like mortals, rolling up their sleeves and slapping each other in the face.

The difference is that mortals fight by grabbing bricks, the Heavenly Father fights by grabbing planets, and gods fight by throwing galaxies. It's just a difference in the level of power; there's no difference in technique.

This is why Captain America, a super soldier injected with the Super Soldier Serum, represents the pinnacle of Marvel combat skills.

Because in this world, skill has nothing to do with strength.

Guo Haihuang's ability to dissipate power is a technique that is completely beyond the realm of common sense; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to explain it as a superpower.

If the two were to engage in close-quarters combat, even with Captain America's shield that can absorb and reflect impacts, he would still be beaten to a pulp.

Of course, Captain America represents the pinnacle of combat skills, encompassing all fighting styles, not just close-quarters combat. If it weren't a ring match, but a life-or-death encounter in the open, the outcome would be uncertain.

But Gu Qing's surprise stemmed not from the old man's strength, but from his philosophy of martial arts: martial arts are not about power, but rather a weapon for the weak to protect themselves.

In the original story, during the battle with the Sea King, which was crucial to China's reputation as a martial arts powerhouse for four thousand years, this man, known as a living encyclopedia of Chinese martial arts, escaped death by feigning death using the Turtle Breathing Technique when he was about to be killed by a single punch.

But after the match, he claimed that he had won.

Some people think he's shameless, pretending to be dead and losing the game but claiming to have won; others think he should have died, but he survived unharmed, so he's the one who won.

But no matter what outsiders say, he believes this is a victory for martial arts.

Because he was facing a natural predator, while he was just a weak and powerless centenarian who struggled even to hold his rice bowl.

He has always defined himself as a weak person wielding a weapon called "martial arts," and has always upheld the belief that martial arts is a weapon for the weak to protect themselves.

This is a true martial arts master, not a madman who learns martial arts to show off his strength and aggression.

Gu Qing was at a loss as to how to deal with such an elderly person.

Although this old man only got married and had children when he was around 100 years old, and even fought a contest with "aliens" when he was over 130, he was really just an old man. He lost and challenged them to a rematch a hundred years later.

But his muscles are atrophying and his bones are shrinking, so it's unknown how much longer he can live.

"...Let him open a martial arts school and teach apprentices!"

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Qing made a decision.

Guo Haihuang is proficient in all the martial arts techniques of China's four thousand years of history. He is a living martial arts manual, and these techniques do not have the strict learning requirements of breathing techniques.

Opening a martial arts school and taking on many disciples is just the right thing to do.

After that, Gu Qing continued to focus her attention on the system's lottery draw.

Unfortunately, this time only Guo Haihuang emerged.

This also made Gu Qing realize how incredibly lucky he had been to draw the Vongola Family last time.

but……

"Anyway, the wish points come in quickly now. As long as I draw enough, I'm not afraid of not getting the desired item!" Gu Qing's face was full of optimism.
