Marvel Gashapon Maniac

Chapter 85 I was resurrected

“I’m not participating, you guys fight,” Thor said.

From then on, the Avengers' Big Three split into three factions.

The tribal team led by Tony:

Tony himself, Black Widow, and Tony's friend Rhodey (War Machine).

The league team led by Captain America:

Captain America himself, Hawkeye, Captain America's friend Bucky... cough cough, Bucky.

Although this was an entertainment project organized by Fu You, Thor was unaware of it.

He sensed a civil war brewing and was struggling to find a solution, so he remained neutral.

Fu You broadcast Thor's conflicted expression live throughout the entire broadcast, and Fu You was covering his mouth to suppress his laughter, which was trembling.

This caused many viewers to lose interest in watching the video.

Fu You composed himself, cleared his throat, and said, "I didn't expect things to turn out this way so suddenly. In order to resolve this harmoniously, I will make an announcement on behalf of the authorities."

"In order to resolve the conflict, an Alliance Horde Tournament will be held next week, with two teams from the Avengers competing to determine the strongest."

The audience immediately burst out laughing. Is this what you call a harmonious resolution?

Was the situation resolved amicably?

However, this project also successfully attracted a lot of attention for Fuyou.

The attention of almost everyone in the gaming world—New Yorkers, Xandar residents, and newly arrived Asgardians—was drawn to this.

However, it also attracted attention from people outside the gaming industry.

……

"Sir, a riot has broken out at one of our research bases. This is the third time already," a Hydra soldier reported to Pierce.

Alexander Pierce, former director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He was also a member of Hydra.

Pierce picked up the report and sighed: "Trouble has been constant ever since we started experimenting with Stark Industries' games."

Pierce was also very troubled by this.

As Hydra, they do not allow anything to exist outside of their plans.

If it exists, erase it.

But...

Hydra scientists worked themselves to the bone for a week but still couldn't figure out Stark Industries' game technology; they even lost all their hair.

Ultimately, it can only be summarized as "unknown technology".

This greatly frustrated the Hydra, but their frustration was yet to come.

In order to study the special energy brought about by the Stark Games, they selected a group of Hydra employees and captured test subjects for study.

Their ambition is to create a super-powered army, but recently their discipline has inexplicably become increasingly lax.

The cause of this riot was:

A Hydra employee was secretly watching a VTuber livestream when he was discovered by an experimenter, who then told the other experimenters.

As a result, a riot broke out.

Yes, it's that simple... so simple that Pierce can't understand it.

"Why would a riot break out over watching a live stream?" Pierce, an elderly man who doesn't play games, was a bit confused.

However, this has happened several times already, so we have to admit it whether we want to or not.

“How about we infiltrate Stark Industries and sabotage their servers?” the Hydra agent suggested.

“This is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause, and…” Pierce glanced at the agent, “You’re confident you’ll come back alive? I don’t think you’ll even make it in alive.”

The agent was speechless for a moment.

If we're talking about the most heavily defended area in New York right now...

It's not the presidential office building, nor is it S.H.I.E.L.D.

It's actually the server located downstairs in Avengers Tower.

Not only does it have surveillance and anti-enemy equipment set up by Tony, but it also has the Avengers stationed there permanently.

However, the most difficult thing is that New York City residents have long spontaneously organized guard patrols, making it look like a military stronghold.

The Hydra spies were so frightened by the sight of a group of dark figures crouching on the wall that they retreated; infiltration was far too difficult.

Pierce, left with no other option, ordered a temporary halt to the experiment and went undercover at the World of Warcraft tournament venue to await further instructions.

Although it's uncertain whether this will disrupt Stark Industries' rapid expansion, we have no other choice but to try anything at this point.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is being far too lenient with the Avengers right now, completely ignoring Nick Fury.

Pierce has tried to sow discord several times, but all attempts have failed.

In order not to expose myself, I can't say too much.

The director of SHIELD sighed deeply.

However, he probably doesn't need to worry about his identity being exposed, because S.H.I.E.L.D. already knows about it.

"Looks like they're out of options this time too." Black Widow smiled sarcastically as she looked at Pierce on the screen.

This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dedicated office in Avengers Tower, now used to monitor Hydra's activities.

Eggman has a wealth of information on Hydra agents, but he feels it's not the right time to close the net yet.

How did he manage to do that?

The answer is, cheats/hacks.

Lu Dan casually stroked the pink fox next to him, feeling great.

Hiyomaru shook off the bald man's hand and continued browsing his forum on his phone.

Herrscher of Corruption, Scarlet Prison Maru, the leader of the information age.

Fu You recommended this pet to Lu Dan. Although Lu Dan didn't understand what it was for at first, he was amazed when Fei Yu Wan demonstrated its abilities.

There is no firewall on the internet that can stop the intrusion of the Scarlet Prisoner, not even the one in Tony's possession.

Hydra's firewall is no exception; as long as they remain within the information network, they will be monitored.

Although Tony is researching the anti-Scarlet Prison Firewall.

However, Tony's anti-series... well, everyone knows that.

……

Tony, who was at home researching the new equipment, couldn't help but sneeze.

rubbing his nose, Tony felt that someone was talking badly about him behind his back.

"Fu You, are you talking about me behind my back?" Tony turned to look at Fu You on the sofa next to him.

Fu You, who was reading a comic book, glanced at Tony strangely, then took the milk tea off his chest and placed it on the table.

"Why would I say bad things about you? Right? If anyone's saying bad things about you, it's that boring, flat-chested girl over there," Fu You replied, shrugging.

Suddenly, Loki's hand tightened, and she almost crushed the milk tea cup in her hand.

"Don't make such pointless jokes." Luo Ji glanced at Fu You.

"Well, isn't this an invitation for you to join the team? The Horde's Dark Portal is always open to you."

"I have no interest in this kind of battle," Loki said, pursing her lips.

Tony put down his work and sat down to the side.

"Don't you want to beat up Thor?"

“Okay, I accept.” Before Tony could finish speaking, Loki immediately said.

Tony nearly choked on his own blood.

"It's quite simple. My mentally challenged brother heard that this was an exhibition match and joined Captain America's team, while you guys found me."

"But there's one thing I'm curious about: why isn't there a limit on the number of participants in this competition?"

Fu You smiled but did not answer Luo Ji's question. Instead, he brought up another matter.

"So the new teammates have been confirmed, but Captain America has called in two new recruits, and you're still missing one. Any ideas?"

Tony smiled confidently.

"I specially prepared a team member for the civil war, and I am well-prepared for this showdown."

1. I'm back online! Wow, yesterday the whole internet was shut down because of an event, but I still managed to go out today.

2. I may indeed be feeling unwell lately. Yesterday I slept from 6 pm to 3 am, and then went back to sleep at 5 am.

3. Be careful, sword users! You might attract the attention of the King of Mounts.

Chapter 86 Unexpected Reinforcements

A week passed quickly, and while the hype reached its peak, the World of Warcraft tournament was held as scheduled.

Fuyou provided broadcasting rights to some VTubers with whom they had pleasant collaborations. This blatant unspoken rule reveals the dark side of the VTuber industry (I'm certain of it).

Unfortunately, the transformed state has nothing and is even bigger than them, so it doesn't seem like the VTubers are at a disadvantage.

Fuyou reactivated the Duel Monsters arena from last time as the main broadcasting platform and set up a grand venue outside.

"Alright! Let's play cards today... oops, let's stream a Warcraft showdown!" Fu You's figure appeared on the big screen.

The audience cheered enthusiastically; they had been waiting for this for a long time.

The audience seating was divided into two sections: one side had blue seats for the Alliance, and the other side had red seats for the Horde.

To prevent the audience from starting a fight, tall fences were built around the venue.

Furthermore, the use of grappling hooks and climbing skills is strictly prohibited on site.

"Each side has 5 players in this battle, and a 1-on-1 elimination system will be adopted. The team with the most points at the end will win."

Fu You briefly explained the rules, but then casually tossed the list of players aside.

"Let's skip the player introductions! Let's welcome the first match!"

Amid cheers from the audience, the two main doors on either side of the venue opened, and the contestants from both sides entered.

The tribe's representative is Rhodes, Tony's friend. In the original timeline, Tony gave him a suit of Iron Man armor, making him the military's Iron Man, Iron Patriot.

However, Tony in this world doesn't have as much anxiety as before, since Fu You is there, so Rhodes can only be considered an ordinary military friend.

On the other side, the league's representative was Bucky Barnes, Captain America's best friend.

A former Hydra warrior with a powerful mechanical arm. However, due to Fu You's interference, many of his romantic scenes with Captain America were cut, resulting in limited screen time. But he seems to quite enjoy his ordinary, retired life with his best friend.

"On the Alliance side, we have Rhodes, a U.S. Marine Corps colonel. But don't be too unfamiliar with him; he's a regular on the Batman series leaderboard."

The players in the audience nodded in agreement. Regardless of their position, all players were considered one of their own.

Then Fu You pointed to Bucky.

"This is Bucky, an old friend of Captain America Steve Rogers. He was previously controlled by Hydra but was rescued by the Avengers. He's currently undergoing labor reform, such as working as a tank."

"About Hydra..."

Then Fu You waved at the screen: "Friends of Hydra, are you there? Raise your hands!"

"Yes!...emmmm"

Several people in the audience almost stood up to wave, but then realized what they were doing and quickly shrank back in fright.
