American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

[Congratulations to Tony Stark for winning a random set of Mark armor blueprints.]

[The reward has been issued, please check your account!]

Immediately afterwards, the system emitted a notification sound.

At the very moment the notification sound rang, a hard drive suddenly appeared in Iron Man's hand.

Clearly, the hard drive contains the corresponding blueprints.

"I really want to see what kind of blueprints are inside right now."

Iron Man stared at the hard drive in his hand, his heart pounding with excitement. "And this naming convention is just like my armor. Could it really be the Mark series armor I've been envisioning?"

Iron Man thinks it's still very possible.

After careful consideration over the past few days, Iron Man realized that the future predicted by this quiz system might not be the future of their timeline.

It comes from the future of another parallel world.

After all, the future of their timeline should have changed after the quiz system appeared.

Putting everything else aside, Iron Man's death at the end wouldn't have happened, because the quiz system had already rewarded him with a healing potion.

It can heal all injuries.

How could Iron Man possibly die?

The most reasonable explanation is that it is a future in a parallel universe.

In other words, in another parallel universe, there is also an Iron Man who has also developed the Mark series of armor.

The reward he held should be the blueprint for Iron Man's armor from that parallel universe.

Of course, all of this is just Iron Man's current speculation and remains to be verified.

"Sir, if I remember correctly, Tony Stark wasn't originally holding this hard drive, right?"

Black Widow's surprised and unexpected voice rang out as she stared intently at the hard drive in Iron Man's hand and questioned Nick Fury beside her.

“That’s right, I also remember that Stark always had empty hands.” Nick Fury nodded with certainty.

Although they didn't see the hard drive appear out of thin air in Iron Man's hands, Iron Man did appear without anything in his hands.

After all, Iron Man came to the Arctic Ocean to search for and rescue Captain America, so how could he possibly be holding a hard drive inexplicably while doing such a thing?

At this moment, Iron Man is wearing his Iron Man armor, so there is no possibility that he could take the hard drive out of his pocket when they are not paying attention.

So it seems that this hard drive should indeed be a reward from the system.

"Sir, although I still don't quite understand the situation, it seems that this question-answering system is indeed not as simple as it seems."

Black Widow spoke to Nick Fury in a deep voice.

At this moment, she also began to take the question-answering system seriously.

“I told you before, answer the questions seriously,” Nick Fury said to Black Widow with an air of superiority, arms crossed.

Black Widow nodded, perking up a bit.

[The question has been answered. The answer explanation will now be played.]

The system notification sounded again, and the text on the screen disappeared, replaced by a corresponding video.

"Commander Fury, the council has made its decision."

"I knew they would!"

As the voices of the man and woman began to speak, Nick Fury appeared on the screen.

Judging from the environment, it was clearly a tactical command center.

The male voice in the conversation just now was clearly Nick Fury, while the other female voice came from a screen in front of Nick Fury in the command room.

The screen was flashing with communication interfaces, clearly indicating that Nick Fury was having a remote meeting with the people on those interfaces.

Iron Man naturally didn't recognize the people in the communication interface, but Nick Fury and Black Widow recognized them at a glance.

Those figures were none other than the bigwigs behind S.H.I.E.L.D.

Those few bigwigs who truly control S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is nothing more than an agent elected by those bigwigs.

Seeing this, both Nick Fury and Black Widow on screen couldn't help but become serious.

The fact that Nick Fury held a meeting directly with these bigwigs shows that the situation had become quite serious.

"Furthermore... I know what kind of foolish decisions they'll make, so I intend to ignore them!"

On the screen, Nick Fury continues to negotiate with these bigwigs.

“Commander, but your warship is the closest to the battlefield. Please order it to move immediately…” But the bigwigs ignored Nick Fury’s opinion and gave him the order directly.

“That’s Manhattan Island, senators! Unless my team can’t stop them, I will absolutely not order a nuclear attack on any civilians!” Nick Fury interrupted the bigwig decisively.

"Nick Fury, so it was your S.H.I.E.L.D. that launched the nuclear bomb!" Iron Man couldn't help but turn around and question Nick Fury.

“I would never give such an order! You saw it yourself, it was those stupid congressmen who gave the order!” Nick Fury said to Iron Man irritably.

"If we don't stop them, we're doomed!"

"If they actually launch a nuclear missile, then it's truly the end!"

On the screen, Nick Fury was also very tough. After confronting those big shots, he directly closed the communication interface and unilaterally terminated the communication.

Then the scene shifts, and the camera switches to a fighter jet pilot.

"Commander Nick Fury has been suspended from duty and is now on order 7A11!"

At the same time, an order was issued.

"7A11 confirmed, we are ready for takeoff!"

After confirming the order, the fighter pilot immediately started the aircraft.

Without a doubt, it was to launch a nuclear missile.

Chapter 023 The Correct Way to Intercept a Nuclear Bomb

"What on earth are those idiots thinking?!"

Seeing that he had been suspended, Nick Fury was both angry and unsurprised, and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

He had done his best to stop the nuclear launch, but it seemed to have no effect in the face of those bigwigs.

He even lost his position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In this way, there's even less that Nick Fury can do.

"Those bastards only care about their own positions and don't care about the lives of ordinary people!" Iron Man cursed mercilessly from the side.

"It now appears that New York is facing the second scenario: the nuclear missile has been launched and intercepted by Iron Man."

Black Widow summarized the situation from the side.

"Sir, there's something amiss on deck!"

The camera switched again on the screen, and Agent Hill immediately detected the takeoff of the fighter jet and reported it to Nick Fury.

"Attention everyone, a plane has taken off illegally!"

"Shoot it down! Repeat! Takeoff was not approved!"

Agent Hill anxiously issued the order to all the agents over the communication channel.

But Nick Fury didn't waste any words; he simply grabbed a shoulder-fired rocket launcher and charged out.

He knelt on one knee, aimed at the fighter jet that was taxiing on the ground preparing for takeoff, and launched a missile in a flash.

boom!

The first shot hit its mark, and the fighter jet was instantly overturned amidst the raging flames.

However, while Nick Fury was shooting down this fighter jet, another fighter jet had already taken off and was beyond the range of the shoulder-fired missile.

Nick Fury could only pull out his gun, point it weakly at the fighter jet, and then dejectedly put it away.

"Stark, did you hear that? A fighter jet carrying a nuclear bomb flew by!" Nick Fury immediately began to inform Iron Man through the communication channel.

"At the critical moment, it is still Iron Man who needs to turn the tide!"

On the screen, Iron Man glanced smugly at Nick Fury beside him, "Nick Fury, you made the right decision. Your future self looks much smarter than you are now."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Nick Fury said irritably.

Iron Man's arrogant and conceited nature is as unbearable as ever.

This is why, even though Iron Man has explicitly agreed to Nick Fury's request to join the Avengers, Nick Fury has not made any substantial progress on the matter.

The main thing is Iron Man's personality: extremely arrogant, haughty, and self-centered. He's naturally a good individual hero.

But you really need to think twice before forming a team with someone like that.

That's why Nick Fury planned to send Black Widow to infiltrate Iron Man's ranks for a period of time after the search for Captain America was over.

Let Black Widow personally assess whether Iron Man is suitable to join the Avengers.

Nick Fury never expected that before he could carry out the plan, Iron Man would meet with Black Widow in the Arctic Ocean ahead of time.

"Approximately how much longer?"

"About three minutes! It will destroy the entire city!"

On the screen, the camera switched again, and Iron Man appeared on the screen.

Jingle bells!

Bang bang bang!

Iron Man was seen fighting several enemies while communicating with Nick Fury over a communication channel.

At this moment, the enemy's appearance was fully revealed to everyone present.

They were some extremely tall men, averaging over two meters tall, covered in armor from head to toe, practically armed to the teeth.
