"The Grandmaster!"

This newly emerged character immediately caught the attention of Nick Fury.

Although this alien Fury from "Sakaar" couldn't possibly know, this person was actually able to knock Thor down with electricity, undoubtedly indicating a formidable individual.

Even the diary made it very clear, the Supreme Heavenly Sovereign managed to knock Thor down with electricity just as he was about to "power up"!

And after powering up, Thor was considered by Satan to be on par with Hulk.

At the very least, he wouldn't be easily defeated by Hulk.

This indicates that the powered-up Thor's strength had significantly increased compared to his original state.

Not to mention, Thor was originally a super badass who almost killed Thanos, with all his Infinity Stones, with one swing of his axe.

And yet, he was knocked down by the Supreme Heavenly Sovereign with electricity?

Thor, knocked down by electricity? Isn't that absurd?

Clearly, this incident of Thor being knocked down is different from when he was incapacitated by electricity by that woman named Darcy in New Mexico.

That time, Thor must have been incapacitated due to some injury or other reason; otherwise, a small stun gun couldn't possibly knock him down.

But this time?

He was knocked down by the Supreme Heavenly Sovereign just as he was about to power up!

Regardless of how the Supreme Heavenly Sovereign managed it, being able to knock down a Thor who could control lightning and was powering up is enough to prove this person's prowess.

Moreover, Nick Fury noticed another key point.

The arena.

Why did the battle between Thor and Hulk take place in an arena?

Could it be that these two were captured and brought to the arena to fight each other like gladiators in an ancient Roman arena?

For others' entertainment?

The diary indeed mentioned, "in front of so many people."

But surely, that must be a coincidence, right?

Characters like Thor and Hulk being captured to fight as gladiators?

That's too shocking!

There must be another reason for their battle in the arena!

As for what that reason might be, without sufficient information, Nick Fury couldn't possibly guess.

"Hulk's battles, if counted carefully, are truly not few and far between. Let's make a brief count today, and maybe a detailed version some other day."

"So, apart from the battle with Thor in the Sakaar arena, there's also the battle against Stark, right?"

"Specifically, it should be Hulk versus the Hulkbuster armor developed by Stark."

"This battle is also very exciting and I personally think it deserves the ninth spot."

Tony Stark couldn't help but smirk, somewhat dismissively.

Ninth spot? Might as well not be ranked at all!

After all, the battle between Hulk and Abomination was said to be in the top ten.

And his battle with Hulk barely made it to ninth?

If possible, Tony Stark truly wished to remove that mention from the list.

Of course, this is just a tease.

Iron Man quickly refocused on the spoilers.

Hulkbuster armor?

Tony Stark's eyes lit up. That's great!

No doubt, hearing this name, this suit of armor was specifically developed to deal with Hulk.

Since this battle made it to the list, there's no doubt the Hulkbuster armor was successful and effective!

To think, even someone who could overpower Thor, I managed to develop a special armor to suppress him.

Indeed, he, Tony Stark, is as outstanding as ever.

"Wait a minute!"

Then, Tony Stark suddenly pondered another question.

Since there's the Hulkbuster armor, could I have developed other suits of armor as well?

Like, an Anti-Thanos Armor, Anti-Dormammu Armor?

Anti-Scarlet Witch Armor?

Holy smokes!

The more he thought about it, the brighter Tony Stark's eyes shone.

Regardless of whether the Tony Stark from that other universe had done this, Iron Man felt he could explore this in the future.

For all the future threats, create specific armors to deal with them!

"Even though the Hulkbuster Armor got smashed to pieces, it did hold Hulk back in the end."

"And isn't that Iron Man's style?"

"Batman beats whoever, Iron Man gets beaten by whoever! Haha!"

"But I think placing this battle ahead of Hulk VS Abomination is still acceptable."

"Wait, how many words is this?"

"Never mind, let's stop here for now. I'll see if there are any other interesting things."

Hulkbuster Armor got smashed to pieces?

Tony Stark instinctively wanted to object.

But remembering the footage of Hulk he had seen before, Iron Man decided to keep his mouth shut for now.

Alright.

Given Hulk's terrifying destructive power, it's indeed impossible for the Hulkbuster Armor not to take any damage or destruction from fighting him.

Even if there were significant damages, that's within reason.

And that makes it worth mentioning by Zhou Cheng?

Really now.

Not a day goes by without feeling uncomfortable if they don't belittle me, huh?

But just as Iron Man was about halfway through his complaint, the corners of his mouth began to twitch uncontrollably.

What the heck?

Batman beats whoever, and I, Tony Stark, get beaten by whoever?

What kind of joke is this!

Tony Stark was, of course, aware of who Batman is.

Though not usually into comics given his status, Batman and Superman are such famous figures that they're known by almost everyone.

Iron Man was certainly aware.

He had even seen their stories when he was younger.

And after becoming a superhero like the Destroyer, he once believed he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the comic book Batman, or even be considered a real-life Batman.

So Tony Stark was very familiar with Batman.

Regarding the diary's mention of Batman beating whoever, Iron Man highly agreed.

After all, Batman indeed had the capability, even mastering the fatal weaknesses of the entire Justice League alone.

Beating whoever seemed basic to him.

But I, Tony Stark, am not any less!

Batman beats whoever, so how come when it comes to me, Tony Stark, it's about getting beaten by whoever?

Slander!

This is slander!

"This time, Satan finally decided to give a hint."

Nick Fury, in front of another diary, couldn't help but voice his thoughts.

He had had the diary for several months now and had silently "spied" on Satan writing in the diary numerous times.

Every time, that devil was very whimsical and arbitrary, often writing and then suddenly stopping.

Even in Nick Fury's view, although the first page of the notebook says "Zhou Cheng's Diary," what the devil wrote was not a diary at all.

It was entirely what came to mind, writing whatever thought arose, with no beginning or end, all fragmented thoughts and complaints.

So, every time, Nick Fury had to wait patiently in front of the notebook for a few minutes to confirm whether the other party had finished.

Like now, getting a clear "conclusion" was really rare.

Snap!

Nick Fury didn't waste any more time, closed the notebook at hand, and started to get down to business.

What business?

Without a doubt, it was about dealing with the Hydra infiltration.

This was the most important and also the most troublesome matter for him.

Now, Talos had successfully replaced a high-ranking Hydra infiltrator, Sitwell, also known as "the bald guy with glasses," perfectly infiltrating Hydra.

According to the various situations reported by Talos, this round of infiltration was very successful.

It didn't arouse any suspicion from Hydra.

This was not beyond Nick Fury's expectation.

After all, they had prepared very thoroughly for this infiltration mission.

With great confidence, they began to implement it.

Plus, with the Skrull's incredible capabilities, it's unlikely to encounter any problems.

This was the first step for Nick Fury's counter-infiltration of Hydra.

It was also an important step in the fight against Hydra.

And this step was just the beginning for Nick Fury.

Next, he plans to do the same thing, continually digging out Hydra's high-ranking infiltrators and infiltrating them with Skrulls!

Also, after Iron Man recently raided a Hydra base, he unearthed quite a few useful things.

The fight against Hydra can be said to be very effective.

Of course.

For those Hydra infiltrators just unearthed, Nick Fury didn't act rashly; he didn't want to alert them prematurely.

Often, keeping an infiltrator is more meaningful than eliminating them.

As for now.

Nick Fury picked up a file, his one-eye gazing at a very gentlemanly man, his gaze deep.

"Baron Strucker, are you ready?"

Yes, Baron Strucker was Nick Fury's next target for infiltration.

After the diary revealed Baron Strucker's Hydra identity, he secretly investigated and confirmed it.

And, of course, it turned out as the diary said, Baron Strucker was indeed Hydra.

And an high-ranking Hydra at that.

How could he remain indifferent?

Shortly after arranging for Talos to replace Sitwell, he began planning to have other Skrulls replace Baron Strucker.

This had been prepared for a long time, and now, he felt the timing was finally right.

After pondering for a moment, he took out a satellite phone and dialed a top-secret number.

"It's time to close the net!"

"Understood!"

A very deep voice immediately came from the receiver.

The operation to replace Baron Strucker was officially underway!

After hanging up the satellite phone, Nick Fury rubbed his temples and continued dealing with other matters.

During this time, he could clearly feel a very secret force watching over Ivan Vanko and him.

This greatly hindered Nick Fury from forming the Whipcord Special Squad.

It also made him certain that his recent actions against Hydra had alerted them.

The future war against Hydra was likely to become even more brutal.

Plus, with the upcoming situation in New Mexico, he felt overwhelmed.

Ding ding ding!

He didn't know how long he had been busy; immersed in various matters, Nick Fury didn't notice time passing when a knock on the office door sounded.

Looking up, he saw it was Barton, who had been sent on a secret mission.

"Come in!"

Nick Fury temporarily put away the files in front of him and called Barton in.

"Sir, why did you call me back suddenly? My last mission isn't finished yet."

Hawkeye Barton walked up to Nick Fury, seriously asking.

"Whether your mission is over depends on me, not on you."

Nick Fury naturally said, then gave Barton an order, "Report, how far has your mission progressed?"

"The progress isn't too optimistic."

Hawkeye Barton shook his head, then placed a stack of documents in front of Fury, "The Red Room does indeed exist, there's no doubt about it. These are some of the 'Widows' I found inside the Red Room."

Fury casually flipped through the documents, and one by one, figures entered his sight.

Suddenly, Nick Fury's action paused.

His eye caught someone familiar.

Yelena.

Although she had no blood relation to Natasha, she had posed as family with Natasha during her childhood.

Natasha cared about this non-blood-related sister.

Unexpectedly, she was still under the control of the Red Room.

However, Nick Fury just took another look and then put down the document, his expression unchanged, and looked back at Hawkeye Barton.

Barton continued reporting: "However, the exact location of the Red Room base remains unknown to me."

How could Hawkeye Barton expect that the Red Room base was hidden in the sky, within the clouds?

How could he possibly find it?

Nick Fury nodded, indicating he understood.

"Let's put the Red Room aside for now, I have something more important."

Nick Fury issued another order to Hawkeye Barton, calling him back.

With all kinds of pressing matters emerging, Fury needed reliable people, and there weren't many he could trust.

At such a critical moment, a figure like Hawkeye Barton naturally couldn't be wasted on something like the Red Room.

Not just Hawkeye Barton.

The undercover mission for Black Widow could also be concluded now.

After calling Barton back, Nick Fury then also called Black Widow back.
