Chapter: 223

"Is this communication line secure?"

In a narrow and dim alley, Fury was communicating with Mark through his watch.

"Don't worry, not only can't Hydra do it, but no one on Earth can bypass the protective network established by Baymax and eavesdrop on our conversation."

Hearing Mark's response, Fury nodded with relief and sat down against the wall, as if he had let out a sigh of relief. "Now I somewhat believe what you said. The fact that they can mobilize the entire Washington police force to hunt me down, with such power and knowledge of my whereabouts, the only person capable of that is Pierce.

But if Pierce is truly Hydra, then his agenda must have a hidden purpose. I just found out and wanted to postpone the plan. But shortly after leaving S.H.I.E.L.D, I was hunted down. It's too coincidental!

But I already had doubts about this plan before. I collected some information, but with S.H.I.E.L.D's encryption level, I couldn't decipher its content. So our immediate priority is to find out the truth so that we can develop a countermeasure and prevent the enemy from succeeding!"

"I already know their purpose. When they uploaded the algorithm onto the satellite, Baymax captured fragments of the data.

Based on the analysis of these data fragments, Hydra has designed a big data algorithm that can predict whether a person's past behavior, including their spoken words, books they've read, music they've listened to, movies they've watched, clubs they've joined, and opinions they've expressed, will pose a threat to their stability in the future.

And once this predictive result indicates a threat, they will use their Helicarriers to eliminate the target before the threat occurs. That's the truth.

Unfortunately, all the members of the Avengers, including you, Director, are on this hit list. In other words, their objective is not to maintain social order but to use force to preserve Hydra's domination over the world.

Resolving this problem is simple. I have some aces up my sleeve that can shoot down the entire Helicarriers the moment it takes off. But I won't use this emergency measure unless it's a last resort.

So now, to solve this problem, we need to find a trustworthy ally."

Upon hearing Mark's words, Fury felt a slightly reduced sense of urgency. After all, Mark still had a contingency plan, which meant an extra layer of insurance.

However, he couldn't rely solely on this final measure. Therefore, concerning Mark's statement about needing other allies to help solve the problem:

"But now I don't know who in S.H.I.E.L.D. is still worthy of my trust. Coulson is one, and Hill is another.

But Coulson is on an overseas mission, and Hill won't arrive here for another couple of hours. Who should I turn to for help?"

"I don't know about the others, but if you're looking for a trustworthy ally who is currently in Washington, then Captain Steve Rogers is undoubtedly the most reliable choice. He's the one who buried Hydra."

"You're right. Steve is the least likely to be Hydra. But I can't go see him right away. Once I make contact with him, it will expose both of us, and the enemy will relentlessly pursue us. At that point, it will be much harder to achieve our goals."

Mark agreed with Fury, the King of Agents, and said, "Exactly. One of you must operate covertly, and that person can only be you.

Captain Rogers doesn't have experience as a spy and isn't skilled at undercover operations. Your combat abilities are not on par with the Captain's for frontal assaults, so you can't fully utilize your potential.

Therefore, with the Captain in the public eye, he can divert enemy firepower, while you operate in the shadows, infiltrating and setting up, and ultimately taking down the opponent in one fell swoop. That's the best approach."

"You're right. I need to go undercover and operate in secret. I'll have to wait for Hill to arrive before taking action. I'll coordinate with her to stage a scene where the enemy 'successfully eliminates' me in front of everyone."

"I hope your acting skills are convincing enough. Not only do you have to deceive the enemy, but also your own people... Also, I'll have Baymax send a supply of highly concentrated nutrient fluid to you through a drone. It's free of charge, consider it as support from me.

If you need anything, you can contact Baymax. He'll provide assistance to the best of his abilities.

Additionally, you can give Captain Rogers some hints so he can come to New York to seek my help. His equipment, other than the shield, should be stored at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. I can help him with any issues regarding his suit. Currently, I'm facing some trouble and won't be able to leave."

"Understood. Once I'm undercover, I'll get in touch with you, and we can discuss the next steps of the plan."

...

After ending the call, Mark looked at the trembling magic circle core in the New York Sanctum and felt a headache. He knew that beings from other dimensional spaces were launching a magical attack on Earth, causing such intense reactions in the core.

"I don't know who the heck it is, but the attack has been going on for so long without stopping. It seems like an enemy even the Ancient One finds troublesome. I need to go and see what's going on."

This was the first magical attack event Mark encountered after assuming the role of the guardian of the New York Sanctum. It wouldn't be good if he simply stood by without taking any action, although he believed that the Ancient One could handle the situation.

Using his magical power and tapping into the Sling ring's rune in his nanobots, Mark opened a portal leaving the New York Sanctum.

"You're late, Mark!"

As soon as he appeared next to the Ancient One, she complained to him.

They were currently in the convergence point between Earth's dimension and other dimensional spaces. However, due to the powerful protective network formed by the three major Sanctums, the enemy couldn't enter Earth's dimension at the moment.

Moreover, the Ancient One was engaged in an intense battle with the intruder, leaving no time for the enemy to decipher the secrets of the protective network's formation.

The tremors Mark observed in the core of the magic circle were actually caused by the aftermath of the Ancient One's fight with the invader.

Mark was quite familiar with this intruder, as he was recorded in the "Book of Cagliostro" and had a minor role in the original movie plot—the Dark Dimension's ruler, Dormammu.
