Chapter 176 Nick Fury: Long Live Hydra!

Using Pierce's identity, Du Mu successfully stabilized the Hydra forces lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D. and ordered the suspension of Project Insight.

Of course, the Insight Project is not something that Pierce can decide on his own; it also needs the approval of the World Security Council.

However, this problem is not difficult to solve; simply point out the serious flaws in the algorithm to the World Council.

Initially, the board members all disagreed. After all, the Insight Project had been in the works for so long and was about to take off. It would be hard for anyone to accept that they would suddenly back out.

As a result, Du Mu simply mentioned that they were also among the targets of the algorithm because they often planted mushrooms at the slightest provocation, seriously endangering human life and safety, and were therefore listed as key targets for elimination by the algorithm.

Upon hearing this, the board members immediately became obedient.

After a brief discussion, the council unanimously passed a resolution to suspend the Insight Project until the algorithmic issues are fully resolved.

As for the real Pierce, he was secretly packed up and sent to Sokovia by Du Mu, so that Wanda would arrange a Strucker-style meal for him as well.

Unlike Strucker, Pierce showed almost no resistance when faced with Wanda's chaos magic control, as if he had resigned himself to his fate, and his mind was quickly manipulated by Wanda.

Pierce's eyes flashed red, and he bowed his head respectfully to Du Mu: "Alexander Pierce is at your service."

Du Mu leaned back in his leather armchair and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, Little Pi. From now on, you can continue to contribute to Hydra's great cause."

Of course, it was his Hydra.

"It is my honor, sir."

Pierce stood in front of the desk, his posture extremely respectful.

At this moment, their roles were completely reversed; Pierce, the former Hydra boss, was now Du Mu's subordinate.

With the addition of Baron Strucker, the two top leaders of Hydra's two factions have now become loyal henchmen of Dumu Mo, making them the largest force within Hydra.

"Why do I feel like I'm increasingly becoming the mastermind behind an evil organization?"

Du Mu couldn't help but mutter to himself, but then immediately dismissed the idea.

He is a nemesis of evil with nearly a thousand points of justice. Who dares to say that he is an evil villain?

Since he was already there, Du Mu simply called the other henchmen to his office, saying he wanted to hold an internal meeting and would only say three things.

Upon receiving the order, Zemo, who was handling Sokovia's political affairs, Strucker, who spent all his time in the research department, and Quicksilver, who spent his days idly as a street urchin, all came to the office one after another.

When they entered the office, they saw Du Mu wearing the Du Mu God-King suit, lounging in a leather sofa chair, with Wanda in a red outfit standing next to him, looking at Du Mu's hand with a look of disdain, just like a secretary.

Du Mu was playing with a strange, long, jet-black snake, as thick as an adult's forearm.

What's truly chilling is that this snake had nine heads sprouting from its neck!

A living, breathing hydra!

At this moment, the hydra was affectionately wrapped around Du Mu's arm and shoulder, its scales gleaming with a metallic sheen under the light.

Sensing an unfamiliar presence, nine snake heads suddenly emerged from behind Du Mu, undulating in mid-air like waves. Eighteen cold snake eyes locked onto the intruder simultaneously, their blood-red tongues flickering rapidly, emitting threatening hissing sounds.

The three people being stared at by Hydra immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

What kind of monster is this?!

Du Mu ignored the three people's reactions and pointed to Pierce beside him.

"Let me introduce myself. This is Alexander Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and also the highest leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Hydra faction. He's now my henchman. According to seniority, he arrived the latest, so you can just call him Pierce."

Hello.

Pierce nodded to the crowd, maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface, but inwardly he was deeply shocked.

He never expected that Du Mu was actually the de facto controller of Sokovia, and that even Strucker, who was also led by Hydra, was one of the other's henchmen.

How much did the officer actually do behind the scenes?

Pierce's thinking had been modified by Wanda, and he had no dissatisfaction with Du Mu, only simple surprise.

Strucker snapped out of his daze and nodded to Pierce.

They were old acquaintances; it was Pierce who brought Du Mu over, which led to the series of events that followed.

However, Strucker is now quite calm. After all, looking at Pierce's current situation, he is clearly in a similar predicament, so neither of them should laugh at the other.

Zemo's lips twitched slightly.

Another high-ranking Hydra member has joined them. If this trend continues, Sokovia is likely to become a true Hydra stronghold.

As for Quicksilver, he was still staring at Hydra.

Quicksilver: (Asia-Asia)

Hydra: (Asia-Asia) *9

Ignoring this big fool, Du Mu said, "Gentlemen, Sokovia has developed to this point, it's time to establish a clear and long-term goal."

Upon hearing this, Zemo tentatively asked, "My Lord, do you mean... you're preparing to begin ruling the world?"

"Who's going to rule the world?"

Du Mu rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "We're a respectable country. What if other countries misunderstand us if this gets out?"

Zemo coughed awkwardly.

It's not surprising that he thought that way, after all, Du Mu was a member of Hydra, and he couldn't think of anything else besides ruling the world.

Du Mu clasped his hands together, resting his chin on them, and continued, "Besides, what's the point of playing around on this tiny patch of earth? Our goal is much bigger than ruling the world."

Wanda blinked, then couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is it?"

"To expand our territory into the universe and become the most powerful force in the galaxy!"

Everyone:

'

'

Let's get back to talking about world domination; that seems more realistic.

Keep in mind that human technology is still at the stage of rockets landing on the moon; even leaving Earth is considered a feat.

If the Battle of New York had been fought in space, humanity would likely have been unable to move at all. Their existing weapons wouldn't have been able to reach the enemy, leaving them helpless and unable to mount an effective counterattack.

As a scientist, Strucker understood this even better, shaking his head and saying, "With Earth's current level of technology, it's difficult for us to compete with those interstellar powers."

He had studied in depth the technological equipment left behind by the Chitauri army, whose technological level was at least several decades ahead of Earth's.

Moreover, he heard from Du Mu that the Chitauri were at best a bottom-tier force in the universe.

One can only imagine how astonishing the technological level of other, more powerful interstellar civilizations must be.

Du Mu was unconcerned: "The technological gap can be caught up. This is a long-term goal, and we can develop it in stages, one step at a time."

"Moreover, even if we don't cause trouble for those interstellar forces, they will come looking for us sooner or later."

He hadn't lied to Sitwell before; Earth did indeed face many threats from extraterrestrials.

According to Peter B, the Earth will never be peaceful in the future, and many crises will come from aliens. In particular, we must be wary of a purple sweet potato spirit with a chin that looks like a washboard!

This purple sweet potato spirit is none other than Thanos, mentioned in the description of the Infinity Stones!

Regardless of Thanos's own strength, his Black Order alone was enough to overturn Earth several times over.

To deal with these threats, Du Mu naturally had to make preparations in advance.

Besides, Thanos could summon thousands of minions to charge into battle with a mere wave of his hand.

But he himself had to personally go down and kill people, which was a complete lack of prestige.

Therefore, Du Mu also had to start improving the overall strength of his guild in order to strive for the top spot in the entire server.

Du Mu waved his hand: "As for the technical issues, I have my own ways of solving them, so there's no need to worry about that."

Since their own boss has said that, what can these employees say?

Even if it takes a lot of racking our brains, we have to find a way to implement the boss's brilliant but impulsive plan.

Du Mu stood up, waving his hand with high spirits: "But before that, we need to set a small goal: to hit the moon. I want to see what's hidden on its far side!"

Everyone:

'

'

Is this a small goal?

Next, with Pierce's full cooperation, Du Mu took over the Hydra forces lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D. without much trouble, and no one suspected that he was a fake Pierce.

Meanwhile, the Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. changed their slogan to "Long live S.H.I.E.L.D."

Now they don't need to shout slogans secretly anymore; they can even shout them out in front of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents without any problem.

Du Mu felt the time was ripe and it was time for the identity of Pierce to step down.

He summoned Sitwell to Pierce's office.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing major, I just wanted to let you know in person that I'm planning to resign from my current position."

"???"

Sitwell froze instantly, his eyes wide with shock, almost speechless.

"Sir, you...you must be joking, right?"

Du Mu calmly replied, "I'm not joking. I have a more important long-term project that I need to personally execute. In the coming period, I will completely move behind the scenes."

"As for our Hydra forces within S.H.I.E.L.D., I will hand them over entirely to Agent Du Mu."

"Agent Du Mu?"

Sitwell could hardly believe his ears: "But sir, isn't it too hasty to handle such an important matter, especially entrusting it to someone with so little experience? I think..."

"I don't care what you think, I care what I think."

Du Mu interrupted him directly, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Moreover, although Agent Du Mu is relatively inexperienced, he is exceptionally capable, intelligent, courageous, handsome, and far-sighted..."

'

"In short, Agent Du Mu is the most suitable candidate to take over this position. From today onwards, you must unconditionally obey Agent Du Mu's orders. Do whatever he tells you to do, understand?"

Sitwell felt something was off, but under pressure from Du Mu, he could only nod: "Understood, sir. I will do my best to cooperate with Agent Du Mu's work."

"good."

Du Mu was satisfied with his attitude: "In addition, I would like to introduce you to one of our members."

"What members?"

Sitwell looked puzzled.

Du Mu smiled slightly and pressed the button on his desk: "Hey you, come in."

Click!

The office door opened with a click, and a tall figure walked in unhurriedly.

When Sitwell saw the person's face clearly, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, his mouth agape, his eyes glazed over, looking like a madman.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Nick Fury, a member of Hydra."

Sitwell: "???"

What the hell?

Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is actually one of our Hydra agents?!

Could he be hallucinating from staying up too late?

The shock Sitwell felt at that moment was as absurd as hearing Captain America whisper "Hail Hydra" in his ear!

Sitwell stammered, "Sir, sir, Nick Fury... he's really one of us?"

"That's right."

Du Mu nodded affirmatively: "In fact, Nick Fury has always been our deepest secret spy, the most important hidden pawn within S.H.I.E.L.D."

"How is this possible?"

Sitwell rubbed his forehead, feeling his worldview crumbling: "Didn't Nick Fury just fall victim to your assassination attempt?"

"That's all just a show for outsiders, to better cover up Nick Fury's identity."

Du Mu explained with a smile, "Otherwise, why do you think I promoted Nick Fury to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.? And don't forget, that's where Hydra's biggest source of revenue comes from."

"All of this, of course, is because Nick Fury is one of us at Hydra!"

Nick Fury: ●

Your explanation makes me feel like I'm a Hydra spy.

Also, what do you mean by Hydra's biggest source of revenue? I had no idea that existed.

After hearing this, Sitwell felt that the whole thing was still very absurd, but for some reason, it seemed to make sense logically. His expression was complicated, and he fell into deep thought.

Du Mu decided to push harder and instructed Nick Fury, "Fury, shout out our old slogan."

Nick Fury's expression stiffened slightly. He hesitated for half a second before finally speaking resolutely.

"Long live Hydra!"

Du Mu waved his hand encouragingly, "Speak louder, don't be shy. We're all family here, and my office is completely soundproof, no one outside can hear us. Just shout it out."

Nick Fury's eyelids twitched, and he raised his voice, repeating, "Hail Hydra!"

"Shout louder! Shout with more force!"

"Long live Hydra!!"

"Great! Very energetic!"

Du Mu nodded in satisfaction and immediately instructed the game system to save the recording.

He turned to Sitwell, smiling, and asked, "So, do you believe me now?"

Sitwell nodded.

You've already shouted "Long live Hydra!", so what else is there to say? Just believe me!
