章節 212: Chapter 205
Future chapters at patreon.com/FFAddict. Additionally, I have many new works readers may be interested in. Go look! Thanks!
After all this time, it turns out that Scarlet Witch's magic was self-awakened!
Nick Fury found this slightly surprising. From reading the diary, he thought Wanda had been transformed by Hydra.
It seems that Scarlet Witch's potential is much greater than he initially imagined!
Her magic even awakened unconsciously when she was very young.
Though the diary briefly mentions "that one Stark Industries missile," it doesn't go into detail. Considering the chaotic situation in Sokovia, Nick Fury could fully understand.
The residents living there could be affected by warfare at any moment.
Sitting at home having a meal, lying on the sofa watching TV, or even sleeping at night, a stray bullet or missile could come flying in at any time!
Before Stark announced the shutdown of Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division, many of its weapons had fallen into the hands of various terrorist groups and armed organizations.
Clearly, one of these missiles from Stark Industries landed near Wanda's home during the conflict.
Or rather, near Wanda herself!
Because Wanda possessed Chaos Magic—or more accurately, reality-altering Chaos Magic—the missile failed to explode.
From a technical standpoint, Stark Industries' weapons are of high quality and rarely malfunction.
This is why they are expensive but highly sought after.
Unfortunately, no matter how advanced Stark Industries' weapons are, they are no match for someone with extraordinary powers.
As for Wanda's brother, Quicksilver?
Alright, Quicksilver.
This is the diary's first mention of Scarlet Witch's brother.
Like "Scarlet Witch," this is obviously a nickname.
Given the "Quicksilver" name, does it imply that he is a super-fast speedster?
Like the Flash?
Nick Fury's eyes brightened slightly. Such a power is also incredibly strong and full of potential.
Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver make quite the valuable pair!
Nick Fury decided he must secure them.
After this spoiler wave, he would personally visit the base in Sokovia.
He needed to act quickly to ensure the sister and brother duo's situation was settled.
However, there was one issue.
Unlike Wanda, her brother did not have inborn abilities but was "genuinely" produced by Hydra's experiments.
Using the scepter!
"The scepter, huh?"
Nick Fury's brow furrowed slightly as he realized something.
The diary mentioned that future Captain America would travel through time to collect stones and trick the scepter away from Hydra.
Given that in another universe, SHIELD was still SHIELD at that time.
After the Battle of New York, the scepter moved to SHIELD and then was handed to Baron Strucker by Pierce for intense study.
If that were the case...
Nick Fury began to think deeply.
Should he replicate the process?
The answer was certainly yes.
Nick Fury wouldn't easily give up on a superpowered speedster like Quicksilver.
The key issue was that the scepter was currently being studied by Tony!
More troubling was that once Tony's research was complete, the scepter would be definitively "closed."
After all, the Mind Stone inside the scepter was intended for use in creating Vision!
In essence, Quicksilver was created not so much by the scepter but by the Mind Stone.
Therefore, to replicate Quicksilver, Nick Fury would need to halt Tony's research!
Knowing Tony, Iron Man was sure to oppose this resolutely.
Unfortunately, Tony couldn't be bypassed or kept in the dark on this matter.
This posed a slight problem!
Nick Fury subconsciously rubbed his temples.
Nonetheless, he wasn't ready to give up. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Though it seemed somewhat troublesome at the moment, Nick Fury decided to consider it over time and find a solution gradually.
Quicksilver, a Flash-like speedster, couldn't just be given up!
[It's just a pity that, like Captain Marvel, Quicksilver, also an "Infinity Stone-powered individual," didn't achieve Captain Marvel's glory.]
[Honestly, Quicksilver is quite strong. Speed is a highly promising superpower in any universe.]
[Had his potential been fully developed, he undoubtedly could have been another Flash.]
[Who would have thought that this Marvel Universe's only speedster would die under gunfire?]
[How could other speedsters not find this utterly absurd? It's almost a joke.]
The Flash!
Indeed!
Tony finally understood.
His suspicion was correct; Scarlet Witch's brother, "Quicksilver," was indeed a speedster.
Even the diary's author, Zhou Cheng, compared Quicksilver to the Flash, indicating Quicksilver's considerable strength.
It made sense.
Speed is a troublesome power for anyone to deal with.
If a person's speed were fast enough, even Tony's Iron Man suit would be useless!
As for the upper limit of a speedster?
Look at the Flash.
He could even travel through time and reverse the timeline!
Even if Quicksilver wasn't yet on the Flash's level, how inferior could he be?
After all, he was a speedster!
What!
As Tony was marveling, he suddenly froze.
Quicksilver was dead!?
To be honest, Tony hadn't expected that.
Was this why the diary never mentioned Quicksilver?
So, after all this, Quicksilver was dead!
And he was shot to death!
Speechless.
Totally speechless!
Although it seemed inappropriate, Tony had the same thought as the diary's author Zhou Cheng.
This was ridiculous!
A speedster got shot to death?
What's the point of being a speedster if he couldn't even dodge bullets!
Of course, despite the rant, Tony still analyzed the situation.
Could it be that Quicksilver faced overwhelmingly intense firepower—a barrage of bullets?
Or was it that Quicksilver was not yet proficient in using his powers?
After all, during this period, Quicksilver, like the Scarlet Witch, was still in his "early stages."
However, it seems I may have overthought this.
No matter how Quicksilver died, it's no longer important.
Because the human experiments mentioned in the diary will never happen again!
The scepter has always been kept by Iron Man!
No matter what Nick Fury thinks, Tony will never allow him to take the scepter and continue experimenting on Quicksilver.
If he didn't know about it, it would be one thing, but now that he does, Iron Man can't just stand by!
"It's just as ridiculous as Malekith, the mighty leader of the Dark Elves, being crushed to death by a spaceship."
"Even if Thor used Jane Foster's device to extract the Aether, Malekith shouldn't be that weak, right?"
"This is someone who has made all of Asgard fearful!"
"He even attacked Asgard and retreated unscathed!"
"So Thor should really thank Jane Foster."
"Without her device, how could he possibly defeat Malekith?"
"In fact, not just Thor, but the entire Nine Realms should thank Jane Foster."
"Without her assistance, the entire Nine Realms would have been swallowed by darkness!"
Nornheim.
Malekith!
Immediately after a fierce battle, Thor's attention was drawn to this name.
Even before the spoilers from the diary, Thor had learned from Odin that Malekith was the leader of the Dark Elves!
Although Odin had never fought Malekith or seen his strength,
Odin mentioned that even his grandfather, King Bor, had to exert significant effort to defeat Malekith.
Okay.
Judging from recent events, it would be more accurate to say "defeat," not "kill."
But regardless, even if Malekith didn't die, he is still a formidable and suffocating foe.
This point is undeniable.
Ever since he learned that the Dark Elves would attack Asgard, Thor had always hoped the diary would provide more information.
Any intelligence about Malekith and the Dark Elves would help.
But Thor never expected that the Malekith he was so wary of, the one he couldn't afford to underestimate, would be crushed to death by a spaceship?
Is this for real?
This guy?
The Malekith who fought fiercely with his grandfather King Bor and was feared by his father, Odin?
Not even Loki could be taken out so easily!
Could it be that Malekith was already gravely injured at that time?
After some contemplation, Thor could only think this way.
Otherwise, if such a weak character could bring so much trouble to Asgard, it would indeed be a disgrace.
"Jane Foster?"
Thor's thoughts flashed, and when his gaze returned to the diary, he felt a sudden realization.
This name came up multiple times in the diary.
She is the future female Thor and shares an unusual relationship with him.
But that's only in the past or maybe in another universe.
As for now,
After Thor was hit by Jane Foster's car, he was taken to the mental hospital by Nick Fury and the others.
He never saw Jane Foster again.
So naturally, nothing else happened between them.
For the current Thor, Jane Foster is just an insignificant passerby, nothing more.
Thor never cared about Jane Foster or intended to follow the diary's advice to make her a female Thor.
But Thor didn't expect that, according to the diary, he and Jane Foster still had "unfinished business."
She actually helped him defeat Malekith!
Without her help, he couldn't have defeated Malekith!
What the heck…
Well, this time the diary was not joking.
Thor had already learned from Odin how terrifying the Aether was—it was the Dark Elves' secret weapon, powerful enough to shroud the entire Nine Realms in darkness.
Even his grandfather, King Bor, couldn't destroy the Aether after winning the war; he could only choose to bury it deep underground.
For someone holding such a terrible weapon like Malekith, it wouldn't be shameful if Thor couldn't defeat him.
But Jane Foster can extract the Aether?
Looks like he underestimated that mortal!
Malekith's goal, however, seemed unchanged—to engulf the Nine Realms in darkness!
"I will stop you!"
Thor's gaze became unprecedentedly determined.
Previously, his grandfather prevented the Dark Elves, and this time, let him, Thor, do it!
"But for now, Malekith and the Aether are probably still in a dormant state, right?"
"Waiting for Jane Foster to wake them up!"
"Don't know whether to call Jane lucky or unlucky."
"The spatial interconnections during the Convergence are random, so how did she accidentally enter Svartalfheim and find the Aether?"
"If that didn't happen, then the subsequent troubles wouldn't have occurred."
"She wouldn't have been parasitized by the Aether and wouldn't have been taken back to Asgard by Thor for treatment."
"And Malekith wouldn't have attacked Asgard."
???
Jane awakened Malekith?
No, not just Malekith, she also awakened the Aether?
Thor's brows furrowed slightly.
What's going on?
Why would Jane do such a thing?
Jane is just a mortal, and Midgard doesn't have interstellar travel capabilities.
In any case, she shouldn't be able to do this!
Could it be that remnants of the Dark Elves have been hiding on Midgard all this time?
"So it's the Convergence!"
But soon, Thor understood.
As a prince of Asgard, even someone with Thor's intelligence knew what the Convergence was about.
Every 5,000 years, the Nine Realms align in a straight line, and during this time, the boundaries between realms blur, causing spatial confusion.
In such a scenario, Jane entering Svartalfheim from Midgard by accident is completely normal.
But to appear right near the Aether—that could only be understood as Jane having incredible luck.
The Aether was buried by his grandfather somewhere no one knew or could find!
And now, Jane Foster just happened to stumble upon it?
