American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

With Nick Fury finding a perfect double, he may spend the rest of his life in this cell.

……

The anti-infiltration Hydra project was executed very smoothly. Everyone successfully replaced Pierce with the T1000 without arousing any suspicion.

After all, the T1000 is almost a 100% copy, with no flaws whatsoever.

While T1000 was handling various matters in the Tri-Wing Building under Pierce's identity, Nick Fury and his team were busy conducting a series of interrogations of Pierce.

One by one, Hydra's secrets were uncovered.

It's not that Pierce is a spineless coward; in fact, Pierce is quite principled, and even at this point, he has no intention of giving in to Nick Fury.

But there are some things that Pierce cannot decide.

Pierce was simply no match for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s various methods. After a few injections, Pierce was completely dizzy and had no idea what he was doing.

I said everything that I should and shouldn't have said.

This is the first piece of good news.

The second piece of good news was that a month later, Tony Stark indeed developed Jarvis 2.0 for Nick Fury, and it was successfully launched.

Combined with Nick Fury's Sky Eye system, there's practically nothing in the world that Nick Fury can't see.

Nick Fury added the Global Biochemical Research Institute and similar organizations, as well as all Hydra personnel, to his surveillance list all at once.

Coupled with surveillance drones, it's practically 360 degrees without blind spots, providing 24/7 monitoring—it's terrifying.

However, this Jarvis 2.0 is only used to better monitor the Sky Eye system, and the name was just something Tony Stark came up with randomly; it's not a real Jarvis clone.

This thing is far less functional than Jarvis.

However, it is more than enough to work with the Sky Eye system.

"Stark, thank you very much!"

Inside Nick Fury's office at the "Quiz Alliance" headquarters.

Seeing that Jarvis 2.0 was officially running and had begun to take full control of the Sky Eye system for surveillance, Nick Fury sincerely said to Tony Stark.

With this surveillance system, Nick Fury has saved countless manpower; it's been a huge help.

"Nick Fury, let's skip the unnecessary small talk. Everyone's busy and doesn't have time to waste on this useless greeting."

Tony Stark, however, went straight to Nick Fury and stated his purpose: "Can I take the scepter now?"

That's right, Tony Stark didn't come specifically to deliver the system to Nick Fury; it wasn't worth him making the trip himself.

Tony Stark's most fundamental reason was actually the scepter.

During those two months, Tony Stark and Nick Fury actually met privately quite a few times, and both of them were interested in further developing the scepter.

After much discussion, an agreement was reached that Tony Stark would continue to create Vision.

"Stark, be very careful, don't create another Ultron," Nick Fury warned Tony Stark with a serious expression.

"Do you think I would repeat the mistakes I've made before? You underestimate me," Tony Stark said dismissively.

"I have only one request." Nick Fury stared at Tony Stark's one eye for a long time before speaking emphatically to Tony Stark, "Your research must be completely transparent to me! I can access all information about this research at any time! And if I deem it necessary, I can terminate your research at any time!"

“No problem!” Tony Stark agreed without hesitation.

Nick Fury then led Tony Stark to a vault and handed him a box.

"By the way, this matter should remain between you and me. I don't want any old-fashioned person to get in my way someday."

As Tony Stark was leaving, he spoke to Nick Fury again.

It goes without saying who this old-fashioned person is; everyone present understands.

“Stark, I’m reminding you again, be extremely careful!” Nick Fury didn’t say much, but instead reminded Tony Stark again, “This time you don’t have the three-day limit, you have plenty of time!”

The psychological trauma that Ultron inflicted on everyone was simply too great.

Tony Stark waved his hand, said nothing more, and left satisfied.

"Jarvis, analyze this scepter."

Upon returning to Stark Tower, Tony Stark immediately gave Jarvis an order, and Jarvis promptly scanned the scepter.

And they immediately gave feedback.

“This scepter comes from outer space and contains elements I cannot quantify,” Jarvis said to Tony Stark immediately.

"So that means there are still elements that can be quantified." Tony Stark was quite philosophical about it.

"The gem protects what's inside, something incredibly powerful, like..."

"Like a computer?" Tony Stark interrupted Jarvis, a fact he already knew from the quiz system.

“Yes, sir, I believe I can decode it, but it will take time,” Jarvis continued in response.

“Take your time. You have plenty of time this time,” Tony Stark said calmly to Jarvis.

The reason for the previous failure was that there was too little time. Tony Stark hadn't figured out the scepter before downloading all the data streams at once.

Isn't that a huge risk?

This time, Tony Stark can take his time to thoroughly study the scepter, then selectively download it, or simply recreate another intelligent program by imitating the scepter's coding method.

Tony Stark simply couldn't believe that anything could go wrong like this.

The scepter, the cradle of regeneration, organic biology, and all other related disciplines once again plunged Tony Stark into a state of tireless work.

Even the blaster could only be researched in his spare time. It was only after Nick Fury's repeated urging that the relevant research report was finally handed over to Nick Fury three months later.

After receiving the information, Nick Fury didn't waste any time and immediately began recruiting personnel, setting up production lines, and starting secret production.

Everything is proceeding busily yet in an orderly manner.

……

Asgard, the fairy palace.

Odin, the king of gods, sat firmly on his throne, and opposite him stood Thor, wielding his hammer.

As for Loki, he is currently imprisoned in Asgard's dungeons.

Although Loki's war against Midgard was aborted, the series of things he did in Asgard were still serious crimes.

If he weren't Odin's son, his ashes would probably have been scattered to the winds.

"Father, why don't you send troops!"

Thor looked up at Odin, a little unconvinced and confused. "Don't you believe what I'm saying? Even Loki has seen that quiz system! And my strength, my Thousand Bird Spear... aren't these enough to convince you?"

"If you still don't believe me, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, and Nick Fury can be summoned to Asgard to be questioned in person!"

“No, Loki, it’s not that I don’t believe it,” Odin said.

When Thor returned last time, Odin was truly surprised. The kid had managed to unleash all his potential even though he couldn't lift the hammer.

This is simply unbelievable.

This completely defies common sense.

Since Thor can't even lift a hammer, it means he can't control his divine power. His level of mastery is far from sufficient, so how could he possibly unleash his potential?

Furthermore, Thor kept pressing him about who Hela was, which greatly surprised the old God-King. So he contacted the Ancient One on Earth to verify the information.

She then received a reply from the Ancient One, who said that there was a mysterious power that even she could not fathom, which was interfering with the timeline.

Odin knew what the Ancient One was like; he was a super being no weaker than Odin, and far superior to him in terms of foreseeing the future.

Even the Ancient One was disturbed by the mysterious force, so although the old God-King still had some doubts, he believed it to some extent.

Furthermore, Thor had never heard of Thanos, but Odin had. The old god-king's experience was naturally beyond Thor's reach.

Thor is mostly active in the Nine Realms, but the old God-King is truly awe-inspiring throughout the universe.

Generally speaking, Odin wouldn't have much to worry about if Thanos, a "galactic bully," were simply wiped out.

Not to mention the current prophecy that Thanos will kill Loki and massacre the people of Asgard, and he is indeed using Loki to cause trouble in the Nine Realms, which makes Odin even more unwilling to let him go.

But there's one problem that Odin knows, but Thor doesn't: Odin is about to die!

I don't have many years left to live!

Under these circumstances, how could Odin dare to act rashly?

Not to mention, after the Rainbow Bridge broke, the mess in the Nine Realms was still not cleaned up.

Chapter 186 A New Round of Questions: Who Cut Off Thanos's Head?

Stark Tower.

"Sir, good news!"

Tony Stark, who was busy at work, immediately perked up upon hearing Jarvis's voice and stopped what he was doing.

He walked up to the scepter on the experimental table.

The scepter was now enveloped in a layer of blue light, which was constantly changing like a digital projection.

“Jarvis, tell me you’ve quantified the entire scepter!” Tony Stark said to Jarvis with boundless anticipation.

"Yes, sir, the scepter has been fully quantified! This means I can decode the scepter with 100% accuracy!"

Jarvis immediately spoke to Tony Stark.

"Yes!" Tony Stark slapped his thigh hard. "Eight months! That's really something!"

Tony Stark could never believe that just quantifying the scepter would take him a full eight months!

This was even after Tony Stark had upgraded Jarvis's hardware multiple times, greatly improving Jarvis's computing power.

All I can say is that the Infinity Stones are indeed extraordinary.

And that other version of myself in that other timeline actually tried to complete the task in just three days, which now seems a bit ridiculous.

This is eight months' worth of work!

How much can be completed in three days?
