A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the Three Flying Tower.

Central conference room.

The atmosphere at the scene was still very somber, making everyone sitting around the conference table feel a sense of heaviness.

Undoubtedly, the members of the Ultimate Team engaged in an extremely heated discussion about how to handle the Hulk's identity being leaked.

"I can't believe that S.H.I.E.L.D. has made such a huge blunder. I thought national security was your specialty."

"One of our team members abused drugs and murdered over 800 people in downtown New York City. Tell me, what are we supposed to do about that?"

"Confess everything? Please, are you planning to make us a department that only knows how to waste budgets and accomplish nothing, and be nailed to the pillory of shame?"

"What kind of superheroes are we? The kind who can only clean up the messes we make?"

"I was hurt by Bruce's situation no less than any of you, but I believe national security should come first!"

For a moment, spittle flew everywhere in the meeting room as members of each ultimate team expressed their opinions on the matter.

People discussed the pros and cons of this matter from various perspectives.

Some people are inclined to help Banner cover it up, while others believe there is no loophole in Banner's case.

But in the end, despite the many different opinions and voices, a consensus was reached.

The White House has announced that Bruce Banner will be put on a public trial.

What S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to do is to fully cooperate.

Once the tone is set, there's no need to elaborate further.

S.H.I.E.L.D. and relevant government departments immediately began operating efficiently to fully advance matters related to the trial of Hulk.

It is worth mentioning that.

During this time, Professor X found Nick Fury and offered to provide Banner with refuge.

After all, Professor X has a lot of experience in turning a murderous monster into a normal person.

However, the result was unsurprising: Nick Fury rejected him.

All Nick Fury did was find Banner a lawyer.

Whether by coincidence or for some other reason, the lawyer Nick Fury hired was none other than the famous blind lawyer, Matt Murdoch!

that's it.

Just a few days later.

The formal trial of Hulk, or rather Banner, began at the Moynihan Federal Court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the issue is now clear: Hulk's crimes are not the key point."

"The real question is, should Bruce Banner pay the price for what he did when he was transformed into the Hulk by the drugs?"

"I object, Your Honor. My client has never been diagnosed with drug dependence, either in the past or present. The plaintiff is misleading the jury."

The heated exchange of words then began.

Major media outlets broadcast the trial live, and the courthouse was packed with countless onlookers.

Countless people held up signs and banners to protest, demanding Hulk's execution; the protests were incredibly large.

Banner's situation can be described as very precarious.

"I object, Your Honor! Please do not dwell on the fact that my client took illegal drugs."

"The Super Soldier Serum is a nationally approved enhancement agent that has undergone years of testing, and it has the successful case of Captain America."

"Okay, let's use alcohol as an analogy. Banner doesn't remember turning into the Hulk, so does that mean a murderer who's drunk isn't a murderer?"

Inside the courtroom, despite Matt's full-throttle response and display of considerable professionalism, the situation remained far from optimistic.

After all, it's an indisputable fact that the Hulk killed more than 800 people.

No matter how much you wash it, it won't get white.

pat!

Upon seeing this, Ultimate Tony pressed the remote control and turned off the TV.

The outcome was already predetermined; this nationally watched trial would have no other result than the execution of Banner.

Ultimate Tony, who was well-versed in the rules of the game in high society, knew this outcome before the trial even began.

Moreover, there is absolutely no hope of breaking the deadlock.

Moreover, even that magical diary "predicted" this.

Therefore, for something that has no suspense whatsoever, Ultimate Tony wouldn't waste too much of his time and energy.

Ultimately, whether Banner is dead or alive is not that important to Tony.

Now, what Ultimate Tony cares about most is naturally that magical diary.

Now that the Hulk's identity has indeed been revealed, what about the rest?

Ultimate Tony is very concerned about this.

So while the Hulk trial was in full swing, Ultimate Tony was investigating something else.

And just one week later, they got the result they wanted.

"Tony, I never expected you to come see me. It really means a lot to me."

"I am in a rather awkward situation right now. I have lost my job, my wife, and my friends."

"In fact, I've lost everything."

"These are the results of my work over this period of time. They are just two prototypes. Unlike your armor, these are real intelligent robots."

"After all, you can't have two similar characters in a team, right? Since we already have Iron Man, I can only make some improvements."

"I named it Ultron. Do you think I could rejoin the Ultimate Team if I gave this robot to Nick Fury?"

"Or Tony, could you act as the middleman for me?"

"I know this is a bit unreasonable, and our relationship hasn't reached that point, but I really have no other choice."

Perhaps Hank was truly at his wit's end, because Ultimate Tony got what he wanted from him with almost no effort.

Playboy outwardly remained calm in his dealings with Hank, but inwardly he was finding it difficult to stay composed.

"It's true!"

"Hank really did create the Ultron robot!"

"The diary was right again!"

Even so, Ultimate Tony did not readily and completely trust the diary.

After all, Hank's research on Ultron predates the "prophecy" in the diary.

Strictly speaking, this is not really a prophecy.

But when Banner's two-week trial finally ended, Nick Fury personally found the ultimate Tony.

Ultimate Tony was speechless.

"Listen, Tony, I know what you might be thinking, but it's too late to change anything."

"Both the government and the people sentenced Banner to death."

"I have no doubt about that; Banner did indeed kill 180 or 150 innocent people."

"But considering that Banner is the Hulk, we need to do the next thing."

"This is my thinking: to prevent Hulk from causing widespread destruction, I will first step in to 'appease' Banner and let him sleep peacefully."

"Then we'll put Banner on a pre-prepared space carrier, and you'll design a sufficient amount of explosives to completely resolve this matter."

"This is the best way to solve the problem, the best way for everyone. I believe you understand, right?"

That's right, Nick Fury wasn't discussing anything else with Tony; it was none other than how to kill Banner.

The whole process was exactly as described in the diary!

Ultimate Tony could no longer remain calm.

If we're talking about Hank Pym creating Ultron or something, there's a possibility that the information could be leaked beforehand.

Then there's absolutely no chance of Banner being executed.

This wave is a genuine prediction of the future.

So, does that mean Natasha really intends to kill the Barton family, kill Jarvis, and even kill herself?

Ultimate Tony took this matter more seriously than ever before, and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Although Ultimate Tony inherited a virus from his mother, giving him a certain regenerative ability, even allowing his severed limbs to grow back.

But that doesn't mean he's unkillable!

Of course.

On the surface, Ultimate Tony showed no signs of anything unusual.

The research on explosives, the preparations for proposing to Natasha, and so on, all proceeded as usual.

Outsiders wouldn't notice any flaws.

But what Ultimate Tony did behind the scenes remains a mystery.

Zhou Cheng, who had been playing in the Ultimate Universe for half a month, was also unaware of this.

Like most people in this world, Zhou Cheng was also drawn to Banner's "unprecedented trial".

Zhou Cheng even spent several days enthusiastically eating melons outside the courthouse.

Despite the danger posed by Hulk, the court conducted a televised trial.

In other words, Banner himself was not present; he only appeared via television from inside the prison.

But it was still quite interesting to see Matt Murdoch so smug in the courtroom.

It must be said that Matt is indeed an excellent and outstanding lawyer.

If the lawyer wasn't just a side job for the other party, Zhou Cheng believed that the other party had a promising future.

boom!

A few days after Banner's trial ended, a muffled explosion over New York caught Zhou Cheng's attention.

"Banner's been killed!"

"Of course, that's what everyone thinks."

Zhou Cheng glanced at the direction from which the explosion came from and immediately made this obvious guess.

He immediately released his Observation Haki and, after sensing the situation, confirmed that it was indeed the case.

Indeed, Zhou Cheng must have received countless rewards during the long period he had possessed the diary.

Observation Haki is one of them.

Using his Observation Haki, he clearly "saw" the wreckage of the space carrier falling.

And there's Iron Man, who hasn't flown very far!

Without a doubt, just like in the comics, Iron Man detonated the bomb, "killing" Banner.

Would a monster of Hulk's caliber be so easily defeated?

Based on the plot, it seems that it won't be long before Hulk "returns in triumph".

However, this matter is currently none of Zhou Cheng's concern.

He has now been in Universe 1610 for more than half a month, and the initial excitement of arriving has almost worn off.

So Zhou Cheng made a decision quite happily.

Let's go to other dimensions for a while, and then return to universe 1610 after some time.

After all, with his ability to travel between dimensions, Zhou Cheng had countless worlds and realms before him.

So, which dimension should we go to next?

"Let's travel randomly!"

Without much hesitation, Zhou Cheng happily made the same decision as last time.

Random travel is more fun than "fixed-point travel".

Swish!

Having made up his mind, Zhou Cheng stopped wasting words.

With a single thought, the person vanished without a trace.

next moment.

Zhou Cheng felt a blur before his eyes.

The surrounding world was completely transformed, and a brand new world appeared before Zhou Cheng's eyes.

Looking around, all you can see are some very old and very backward houses.

I can't quite put my finger on the style, but it's definitely not set in a modern city.

And on the streets, there are basically no people to be seen.

The sky was drizzling with rain, making it look very desolate.

However, some of the words on the shop signs caught Zhou Cheng's eye; they were clearly Japanese characters.

Having already received the reward for language proficiency, Zhou Cheng is fluent in all the world's languages.

So he can read Japanese characters and such.

She has no problem communicating with people; her speech is very fluent and so natural that no one can detect any flaws.

Zhou Cheng immediately made a judgment: he must have transmigrated into the world of a Japanese anime.

Judging from this, the Intelligence Body is obviously unusable, but the Observation Haki is not an obstacle.

But Zhou Cheng thought about it and didn't do that.

He decided to first wander around this place, which resembled a small village, and gradually unveil the mystery of the village.

rustling.

Zhou Cheng casually started walking, his figure disappearing into the rain.

It's worth mentioning that none of the rain actually fell on Zhou Cheng.

Just inches away from its body, it was blocked by an invisible force.

"Someone has invaded the village!"

What Zhou Cheng didn't know was that almost at the same moment...

A man dressed in a red cloud uniform, standing atop a tall tower, flashed a sharp light in his eyes.

The man's pupils revealed that his eyes were actually circular.

That's right, it was none other than the legendary Rinnegan.

Then the man's identity becomes obvious.

He is Pain, the current apparent leader of the Akatsuki organization and a puppet of Nagato Uzumaki.

So where did Zhou Cheng travel to?

Of course, it's Amegakure (the Hidden Rain Village).

Just like when Jiraiya invaded Amegakure, Nagato immediately discovered him using the Rain Tiger Free Technique.

Zhou Cheng is now experiencing the same thing.

Unfortunately, Nagato's technique was indeed a bit over the top.

The rain that permeates the entire village is like the other side's eyes. How can we break through this?

"Who is it?"

Another voice rang out, and Konan asked Pain, who was expressionless.

"We don't know yet, but the other party is no ordinary person. He can break through the village's barrier and sneak in silently."

"But I can't sense any chakra fluctuations from him."

Pain briefly described Zhou Cheng's specific situation. (End of Chapter)
