Kapitel 162: Chapter 163: Who Almost Killed Thanos with Six Infinity Stones?
After making their choices, the video continued playing.
Nick Fury walked slowly by a mist-shrouded cemetery, wearing a trench coat. He stopped in front of a grave with the name "Hope van Dyne" on the tombstone, followed by words like "beloved daughter" and "SHIELD agent."
From the tombstone, the culprit was clear: Hank Pym, the father of Hope van Dyne.
"Hank Pym?" Tony Stark immediately thought of the culprit and said, "This old man is quite a troublemaker."
"Hank Pym?" Stephen Strange heard this name for the first time. "He's the father of Agent Hope, right? Who is he?"
"Hank Pym is an extremely talented scientist and a former SHIELD agent. He was a longtime friend of Howard Stark," Natasha Romanoff explained. "But he left SHIELD when he found out they wanted to replicate his Pym Particles."
"Pym Particles?" Thor asked, "What are those?"
"That's an invention of Hank Pym, which can change the relative distance between atoms. This allows the particles to enlarge or shrink bodies and other objects," Natasha replied.
"It doesn't sound that impressive," Thor commented.
"Not impressive?" Natasha raised an eyebrow. "Thor, you lack imagination when it comes to technology. I just said they can enlarge or shrink things. Can't you imagine how the Avengers died?"
"When Natasha 'killed' Stark, the projectile fired from the syringe was not a solid weapon. It must have been Hank Pym himself, shrinking to an extremely small size and entering Stark's body to kill him from the inside!" Clint Barton added. "The same goes for Hulk. He entered Hulk's body and enlarged Hulk's organs, causing him to explode. Thor, your hammer can smash anything, but tell me, how would you smash a virus or bacteria inside your body?"
"That sounds tricky," Thor said, "But if he becomes so small, how can he move? With such a small size, his strength must also be minimal!"
"Thor, you're wrong. After shrinking, strength actually increases," Natasha explained.
"Why?" Thor asked.
"Is it even meaningful to ask such a question?" Natasha rolled her eyes. "It's like explaining it to you will make you understand."
Thor: "..."
They were stuck, not knowing how to explain to Thor!
In the video, Hank Pym indeed appeared, wearing a yellow battle suit, and he was angrily approaching Nick Fury. "You dare to stand here by her grave, you have some nerve!"
"Don't worry about her." Nick Fury turned around to face Hank Pym and said, "I don't think she'd mind. After all, she's already dead."
"She died because SHIELD killed her!" Hank Pym stepped closer to Nick Fury. "She died because of you!"
"Agent Hope van Dyne died on a mission outside Odessa, Ukraine," Nick Fury spread his hands.
"Agent?" Hank Pym got angry again and pointed at Nick Fury, "She's my daughter! My beloved daughter! She missed her mother, and you used that against her!"
"Her mother was also an agent?" Nick Fury asked.
"Don't fool me, Fury," Hank Pym said. "You filled her with a bunch of nonsense about protecting humanity and saving the world. You made her do dirty work for SHIELD and die just like her mother!"
"Does that give you the right to kill them?" Nick Fury retorted. "Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanoff?"
"You took everything from me, and I want to see you suffer. I want to watch everything you built, fought for, and hoped for, crumble and collapse," Hank Pym said with hatred.
"And what about Thor, the Prince of Asgard?" Nick Fury asked.
"The Golden Hair?" Hank Pym sneered. "You would recruit him without hesitation and fool him into becoming a hero. That's what you do, and SHIELD has always done. Find others to fight your battles!"
"Just because of that?" Nick Fury asked, "You killed him just because you could?"
"His death is secondary; your death is the victory!" Hank Pym put on his helmet, shrunk himself, and flew toward Nick Fury.
The video paused there, and a new question appeared.
[Did Hank Pym succeed?]
[A) He succeeded]
[B) He didn't succeed]
[If you answer correctly, you will receive ten 'Arrows' (really sharp, capable of piercing diamonds). If you answer incorrectly, one year of your lifespan will be deducted.]
"Being able to pierce diamonds, these arrows are indeed sharp enough," Natasha Romanoff said. "With these arrows and Clint's archery skills, he would be even more formidable."
"It's useless if they can't pierce vibranium, thumbs down!" Tony Stark commented.
"Being able to pierce diamonds is already quite durable," Clint Barton replied to Tony Stark. "Stark, if I really get this reward, I'll ask for your help in researching whether we can make more of these arrows."
"No problem!" Tony Stark readily agreed.
"I think this question should be quite simple," Stephen Strange expressed his opinion. "This Hank Pym killed so many Avengers, including Asgardian gods and even the Hulk, and succeeded in all of his assassinations. Although Nick Fury is the head of SHIELD, he should not be more powerful than those Avengers. So, I believe Hank Pym will succeed and kill Nick Fury."
"I don't think so," Clint Barton shook his head. "Hank Pym managed to kill those Avengers through ambush and sneak attacks. His true strength is certainly not that strong."
"But he must be stronger than Nick Fury, right?" Pietro Maximoff said. "Regardless, Hank Pym has his battle suit that can shrink and fly, making him unpredictable. Also, you saw those four tentacles on the back of his suit; those are definitely not just for decoration but also weapons."
"Pietro, why do you assume that Director Fury isn't prepared?" Clint Barton retorted. "If Director Fury knows that Hank Pym is the culprit and knows about Pym's 'accomplishments,' he wouldn't just walk into a trap without proper preparations."
"Furthermore, Fury knows Hank Pym and his suit very well," Natasha Romanoff added. "As the head of SHIELD, Fury knows the former members of SHIELD better than any of us. Regarding Hank Pym, he can be described as 'knowing the enemy.'"
"Exactly, 'knowing the enemy.' That's what I meant to say. Because Hank Pym used to be with SHIELD, Nick Fury understands him. Wouldn't it be the same in reverse? Because he used to be with SHIELD, Hank Pym knows how SHIELD operates," Stephen Strange chimed in. "I said he killed several Avengers not just because of ambushes, but because of his careful planning. He can devise different assassination plans tailored to each Avenger's characteristics. As we saw, all of his plans succeeded perfectly. He's not impulsive; he's very rational. When he appears in front of Nick Fury, it means he is confident in killing him, just like he did with the other Avengers."
"Both sides understand each other, and both sides surely did extensive research on the other," Tony Stark spoke up. "But I still think Hank Pym won't be able to kill Nick Fury. Although Hank Pym is avenging his daughter and has become ruthless, fundamentally, he is still a scientist. On the other hand, Nick Fury's training is all about killing; he's an expert in that field. Besides, no matter how formidable Hank Pym's battle suit is, he's just one person, while Nick Fury has SHIELD. Alright, SHIELD has been dealt some heavy blows by Loki, but they must have some remnants left."
"I think Hank Pym won't succeed in killing Director Fury," Clint Barton made his choice. "I choose B."
[Correct answer! Rewards are granted!]
Immediately, ten arrows appeared on the ground.
"Huh?" Clint Barton looked over and couldn't help but exclaim.
"These arrows look pretty ordinary. Why are you so surprised?" Pietro Maximoff looked at the arrows.
"It's precisely because they look so ordinary that it's surprising," Clint Barton picked up one of the arrows and examined it closely. "This arrow is exactly the same as the ones I usually use." He weighed the arrow in his hand. "Even the weight and feel are the same."
"The weight is the same?" Tony Stark said when he heard this, immediately bending down to pick up an arrow and examining it. "If the weight is the same, it means that the materials used for both the arrowhead and shaft are the same as Barton's arrows. Barton's arrows can't pierce diamonds, but these arrows can. It's not because of some special material like vibranium, but more like using a non-scientific method, like magic."
"That's a shame. I thought I could replicate some of these sharp arrows," Clint Barton said with a disappointed look.
"But the benefit is their concealment," Natasha Romanoff said. "Until the moment you hit your target, your opponent won't know which arrow you used."
The video continued playing, and the shrunken Hank Pym flew to Nick Fury in an instant. However, he didn't have time to do anything; Nick Fury raised his hand and slapped him, sending Hank Pym flying backward with a "smack."
Hank Pym returned to normal human size and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Nick Fury. This time, Nick Fury handled it even more effortlessly, casually moving his arms and hands to block all of Hank Pym's attacks.
Finally, Nick Fury leaped into the air, performing an extremely graceful somersault, landing behind Hank Pym.
"What's the point of all this?" Hank Pym looked stunned. "As someone who gives orders, you really have some vigor."
Then Hank Pym shrank again to the size of a fly and flew toward Nick Fury.
The outcome this time was no different from the previous time he shrank. Nick Fury casually threw a punch, hitting the flying Hank Pym and sending him flying backward again.
This time, the force of the impact was much stronger than before. Hank Pym's body plowed through the ground like a plow, leaving a long trench, and finally knocked over a tombstone.
"Is Nick Fury's hand-to-hand combat this strong?" Steve Rogers couldn't help but say, "As someone who gives orders, he's too skilled!"
"This goes beyond just being skilled at hand-to-hand combat," Bruce Banner said. "Hitting Hank Pym and sending him flying that far, creating a deep trench on the ground, and knocking over a tombstone—this kind of strength exceeds that of an ordinary person, right?"
"Could Nick Fury also be a super soldier like Captain?" Stephen Strange asked. "Like a super soldier, just like Captain?"
"I've heard that Fury has taken some serum to slow down aging, but I've never heard anything about him having above-human physical abilities," Clint Barton shook his head. "It's highly unlikely that Director Fury is a super soldier."
"If Fury is a super soldier like Captain, even if he's older now and had to take on more of a managerial role, there should still be some records of his feats when he was young, right? But I've never heard of anything like that," Natasha Romanoff said. "There's no need to hide something like that; it would only make people admire him more, wouldn't it?"
"So, how did Nick Fury suddenly gain such terrifying power?" Stephen Strange said. "We saw that Hank Pym couldn't escape his gaze, and the tricks of shrinking and enlarging seemed to have no effect. With a flick of his hand, he subdued Hank Pym effortlessly."
"Probably Loki," Thor spoke up, "Previously, Nick Fury was negotiating with Loki for cooperation, so Loki must have helped him."
"Loki has means to enhance others' powers?" Stephen Strange asked.
"Why bother with that? Loki himself is enough; impersonation has always been his specialty," Thor said.
"So, the Nick Fury at the grave wasn't Nick Fury at all, but Loki?" Pietro Maximoff laughed when he heard that, "If Hank Pym knew this, would he cry on the spot?"
The video continued playing.
"You never cared about Hope!" Hank Pym returned to normal human size again and said to Nick Fury.
"I never cared about any of them," Nick Fury replied.
This statement angered Hank Pym, and he charged towards Nick Fury once again, shrinking his size to attack Fury.
But it proved to be futile as Nick Fury effortlessly slapped him again.
However, when Hank Pym enlarged himself again, Nick Fury was nowhere to be seen.
"Fury! Come on!" Hank Pym shouted, looking around to find Nick Fury.
"You said you're an assassin, right?" Nick Fury's figure suddenly appeared next to Hank Pym like a ghost, grinning and showing his white teeth, "Then come on! Come and kill me!"
Shoo, shoo, shoo!
Hank Pym didn't hesitate, and the four tentacles from his suit shot fiercely towards Nick Fury. However, Nick Fury's body seemed to slowly disappear like a shadow.
Hank Pym was stunned again; Nick Fury actually had this ability?
Then Nick Fury reappeared behind Hank Pym. Hank Pym rushed over and swung a punch at Nick Fury, but Nick Fury vanished on the spot and appeared behind Hank Pym again.
"How did you...?" Hank Pym couldn't understand what was happening.
What was even more bewildering was that Nick Fury continued to play new tricks after several sudden disappearances. Multiple Nick Fury figures appeared on the scene, as if forming an army, surrounding Hank Pym in the center.
It could only be said that Hank Pym was blinded by vengeance; it was only now that he thought about escaping.
Whoosh!
Hank Pym flew into the sky.
However, not only was the ground filled with Nick Fury figures, but the sky was also full of them. A gigantic Nick Fury suddenly appeared, standing in the void!
Then Hank Pym heard a "crackling" freezing sound, and he found himself frozen in a massive ice cone.
Crash!
The ice cone shattered and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. Hank Pym lay in pain on the ground.
"Hahaha!" The Nick Fury figures all burst into laughter, but amidst the laughter, they suddenly shone, and all of the Nick Fury figures transformed into someone else.
That person wore a helmet with two curved horns. Who else could it be but Loki?
From the beginning, the "Nick Fury" standing at the grave was not Nick Fury at all; it was Loki.
As all the Loki figures disappeared, only the real Nick Fury walked out and stood shoulder to shoulder with Loki.
"Where did this goth kid come from?" Hank Pym looked up at Loki, lying on the ground.
"Hello, I am the God of Mischief," Loki warmly greeted Hank Pym.
"SHIELD is among the people," Nick Fury squatted down and looked at Hank Pym, saying, "People are willing to sacrifice their lives for a greater cause, to save the world from people like you. Agent Hope Van Dyne understood this, and we will never forget her."
Then, the soldiers from Asgard took Hank Pym away.
"It was a pleasure working with you, Director Fury," Loki said to Nick Fury.
"Very well, then take your hammer and get out of Earth," Nick Fury replied.
The video paused, and the question appeared.
[After capturing Thor's killer, did Loki leave Earth?]
[A: Left]
[B: Did not leave]
[This question is correct, rewarded with one 'Sharp Arrow' (truly sharp, capable of piercing diamonds). Answer incorrectly, and one year of life will be deducted.]
"Why even ask? He definitely didn't leave!" Clint Barton said after reading the question, "He must have taken this opportunity to seize power on Earth."
"Clint, I've said it many times before, Loki actually doesn't want the throne," Thor quickly defended Loki.
"Thor, you're beyond help. I think Loki will devour you alive for the rest of your life," Tony Stark added, "Loki came to Earth, perhaps with some motive for revenge on your behalf, but he's definitely got other objectives as well!"
"Indeed, Loki must have a plot!" Clint Barton made his choice, "I choose B!"
[Answer correct! Reward granted!]
Another sharp arrow obtained.
The video quickly played, starting with the United Nations headquarters. In a flurry of camera flashes, Loki slowly walked up to the podium and delivered an impassioned speech in front of major media outlets.
"Good evening, my loyal subjects. I am proud to announce that it took only one day for the nations of Earth to set aside their differences and unite under my leadership. The inherent nature of humans makes you crave conquest, and your selfish vanities prevent you from progressing, hindering your ability to find happiness. You were born to be ruled, and I have come to help you fulfill your destiny."
The scene changed, and Nick Fury and Phil Coulson stood in front of a row of coffins, five in total, each adorned with a symbol, including a hammer and a bow and arrow – clearly the coffins of Tony Stark, Thor, and other Avengers.
"The Avengers fell before they had a chance to rise," Phil Coulson said, "May they rest in peace."
"They may rest, but we can't," Nick Fury turned and left, saying as he walked away, "The Avengers' significance is not confined to a team; they represent an idea. People need to hold onto their beliefs during the darkest times and believe that we will find heroes."
The screen dimmed, and the video ended there.
"As expected, Loki really made a move on Earth," Clint Barton said, "And he actually succeeded in becoming Earth's king."
"No matter which world's Loki it is, he's always so ambitious," Natasha Romanoff said, "I just wonder if this world's Thor also has such deep feelings for Loki."
[The tenth question begins. Please get ready.]
[Among the following characters, who came close to defeating Thanos with the six Infinity Stones?]
[A: Thor, the God of Thunder]
[B: Bruce Banner, the Hulk]
[C: Steve Rogers, Captain America]
[D: Tony Stark, Iron Man]
[This question is correct, rewarded with Ninja Technique - Transformation Jutsu. Answer incorrectly, and one year of life will be deducted.]
The next question began.
