Disaster!
The diary was right; Infinite Ultron is indeed a disaster for the entire Multiverse.
Of course.
The same goes for the Universe everyone is in.
After all, no one knows if this Universe will be one of Infinite Ultron's slaughter targets.
If it's not, then everything is fine, but what if it is?
According to the diary's spoilers about Earth's defenses, it probably can't stop Infinite Ultron.
At this moment, Black Widow could only secretly pray in her heart that her Universe wouldn't be so unlucky as to be targeted by Infinite Ultron.
Otherwise, it would truly be too terrible.
"Wait a minute, Observer?"
And when Black Widow's gaze fell on that name, her expression immediately became solemn.
The name Observer was mentioned for the first time in the diary.
However, the diary also made it clear that this was an existence that transcended the Multiverse!
Black Widow naturally dared not take such a high-level figure lightly.
However, the diary did not provide more information about this person, so Black Widow could only analyze it herself.
"Observer," from the name, this should be a role similar to an Observer.
Performing observations and records on a target object, and similar work.
So, here's the problem.
What would an Observer, who can transcend the Multiverse, observe?
The Multiverse?
Black Widow thought for a long time but couldn't grasp the key.
There was no way; the level of such an existence was simply too high, completely beyond her reach.
And even an existence of this level was scared stiff by Infinite Ultron, which shows that Infinite Ultron is indeed powerful to a terrifying extent.
[No, it's not just scared stiff.]
[Infinite Ultron also chased the Observer throughout the Multiverse, chasing him like a dog!]
[Forcing the Observer to select members from the Multiverse to form the Multiverse Avengers Alliance, aiming to eliminate Infinite Ultron.]
[But in the end, it was HYDRA that defeated Infinite Ultron, can you believe that?]
[Corrupted Strange, Party Thor, and other top powerhouses were all there, but in the end, it still relied on HYDRA!]
[Haha, it's so interesting, HYDRA also has a day to save the World!]
[No, it's a day to save the Multiverse!]
"It seems this Infinite Ultron is really amazing."
Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, the same goes for the Observer.
Although he was chased by Infinite Ultron "throughout the Multiverse," doesn't that mean the Observer can escape "throughout the Multiverse"?
At the very least, he possesses the ability to easily travel through the Multiverse.
As expected of an existence that transcends the Multiverse!
I just don't know what kind of people would be chosen by such an existence to form the Avengers?
No, it's the Multiverse Avengers Alliance.
Seeing another Avengers appear, the Playboy couldn't help but secretly grumble.
He originally thought that the Avengers he joined was unique, and his identity as Tony the Avenger was also unique.
As a result, he only learned a while ago that an Avengers had existed as early as a million years ago.
And it was an Avengers that even included Odin.
Although Tony didn't know the other members, since Odin was present, the prestige of that Avengers was imaginable.
It was undoubtedly higher than the Avengers that Tony Stark joined.
But who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, the diary actually spoiled an even more prestigious Multiverse Avengers Alliance!
It's already the Multiverse, so this prestige should be at its peak, right?
There won't be a higher-spec Avengers anymore, right?
The Playboy couldn't help but think to himself.
Looking at the members of this Multiverse Avengers Alliance again, good heavens, Corrupted Strange, Tony almost couldn't help but blurt out "good heavens."
Isn't this the super god who destroyed a Universe?
This is much more powerful than Odin!
Sure enough, the level of this Avengers is indeed much higher.
Besides that, there's also a Party Thor?
Wait a minute, what kind of Thor is this?
Tony couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Literally, this is a Thor who loves to party?
How much does this Thor love to party to have the word "party" in his nickname?
However, would such a Thor truly be very powerful?
Could he reach the level of Corrupted Strange?
It should be similar, otherwise, why would he be chosen by the Observer to be a Multiverse Avenger?
What about the others?
Besides Corrupted Strange and Party Thor, who else is there?
The Playboy was still very interested in this.
Well, actually, Tony Stark was more eager to figure out if Tony from a certain Universe was selected into this alliance!
With Tony's excellence, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Of course, Tony couldn't have known that the Observer did appear before him in a certain Universe.
But he disdainfully excluded Tony!
"HYDRA?"
Nick Fury, in front of another diary, couldn't help but be stunned, and several question marks appeared on his forehead.
Infinite Ultron, who even scared the Observer stiff, was actually defeated by HYDRA?
It's HYDRA we're talking about here!
Who are HYDRA?
Undoubtedly, bad guys!
As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury naturally knew history, and even more so, some inside information that ordinary people didn't know.
He knew much more about the dirty dealings and unspeakable things HYDRA did than the average person.
Leaving aside other things, just the Insight Project revealed by the diary, HYDRA actually planned to kill millions of people at once!
Is this something a human can do?
Coupled with the recent covert struggles with HYDRA, it's no exaggeration to say that Nick Fury is the person who understands HYDRA best in the World.
He truly never expected that such an utterly evil villain would also have a day to save the World.
This contrast was indeed too huge.
Of course, this is not the main problem, after all, Infinite Ultron is going to destroy the entire Universe, and HYDRA also faces the danger of being eliminated.
So it's not strange for HYDRA to deal with Infinite Ultron.
The real question is, is HYDRA really that powerful?
According to the diary's spoilers, Ultron was created by Stark.
So, without a doubt, the matter of Infinite Ultron happened in the future, not the past.
But at this time, what level was HYDRA at? As Nick Fury, who had been secretly fighting HYDRA for a long time, he had a lot of say!
Although their influence had infiltrated to an astonishing degree, even S.H.I.E.L.D. could be called Serpent S.H.I.E.L.D., but yes, they were all ordinary people!
Except for the Winter Soldier, a super soldier, who was also killed by Stark.
Of course.
Besides that, HYDRA also had some research teams, and could even be called a top-tier research team in the country.
But it was just an ordinary top-tier team, far inferior to Stark's level.
Under these circumstances, how could HYDRA solve Infinite Ultron, who even scared the Observer stiff?
Could it be that HYDRA still possesses other secret and powerful forces that he doesn't know about?
After some thought, Nick Fury could only make such a guess.
Fortunately, the reverse undercover plan was very successful, and now Alexander Pierce has become one of their own.
He had already taken the first step in controlling HYDRA.
How many unknown secrets HYDRA still held, he would soon learn and master one by one.
[I have to say, HYDRA is indeed a crazy organization, and there's no shortage of various lunatics in it.]
[Red Skull turning himself into that inhuman, ghost-like appearance is one thing, at least it was passive, after all, it was a side effect of the serum.]
[But that guy Zola, he's truly not human anymore!]
[He actually turned himself into a super program, abandoning his body and living completely in memory sticks!]
[Terrifying, truly terrifying, I can't help but admire it!]
[But Zola's consciousness actually managed to defeat Ultron's program; honestly, it was somewhat unexpected.]
[So, looking at it this way, Jarvis is not the most advanced artificial intelligence at all; Zola should be, right?]
Zola?
Arnim Zola?
When Nick Fury saw the name "Zola," the image of that small, bespectacled man immediately popped into his mind.
During Red Skull's time, he was Red Skull's confidant, helping Red Skull design many black technologies that surpassed the current era.
Later, after HYDRA was hunted down by Agent Carter and her team.
Arnim Zola and some other related scientists were not killed or imprisoned, but were secretly recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Just like that, they transformed, were whitewashed, and began a whole new life.
Operation Paperclip!
That's right.
This was the famous Operation Paperclip.
Not only that.
After Arnim Zola was re-recruited, he remained in a high position and was highly valued by S.H.I.E.L.D.
He even secretly researched the Tesseract with Howard Stark.
In "Avengers 4," Tony Stark returned to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base to steal the Tesseract, but was caught by his father, Howard.
When Howard first heard the commotion, he mistakenly thought it was Zola, and greeted him very familiarly.
From his tone, it seemed their relationship was quite good.
This shows how successful Arnim Zola's disguise was; no one cared about his HYDRA origins anymore, and he was completely regarded as a pillar of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Arnim Zola also lived up to everyone's expectations, working diligently and dedicating his strength to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Until he died of illness.
And he had been dead for many years.
So, would the Zola mentioned in the diary who defeated Ultron be the Arnim Zola he imagined?
After a simple sorting and analysis of the various clues he had at hand, Nick Fury felt that the possibility was very high.
First, based on Nick Fury's understanding of HYDRA, besides Arnim Zola, there were no other relevant individuals named Zola within it.
Of course, this is not absolute.
It's also possible that there are other HYDRA members named Zola, but Nick Fury just hasn't heard of them.
And given Nick Fury's status and his adversarial relationship with HYDRA, if he hasn't heard of them, there's a high probability that they are just ordinary nobodies.
Compared to the super scientist Arnim Zola, the likelihood of them accomplishing such a feat as defeating Ultron is naturally smaller.
Secondly, the diary clearly stated that Zola abandoned his physical body and turned himself into a super program!
Nick Fury felt that such an anti-human, crazy act, even for the HYDRA lunatics, was not something that could be easily done.
After all, this is indeed crazy beyond human comprehension, isn't it?
This is truly not being human anymore!
But what if he had an incurable disease?
What if he was bound to die?
The possibility of doing such a thing is undoubtedly much higher.
So, combining all these circumstances, Nick Fury felt that the Zola in the diary was very likely Arnim Zola.
It's basically a sure thing!
So, such a fact surfaced:
Arnim Zola, recruited through Operation Paperclip, had always been a fake defector; he was still a HYDRA member in secret!
This also aligns with the situation of HYDRA secretly developing and growing stronger seventy years later.
In addition, Arnim Zola, who was presumed dead, was not dead at all.
Instead, he continued to live in another identity, or rather, another form!
And he even lived to become a cheat more powerful than Jarvis!
However, has HYDRA's technology already reached such an incredible, even terrifying, level?
To be able to preserve a person's consciousness on a hard drive?
This is a plot device that only exists in science fiction movies!
Even a World-class scientist like Tony Stark simply cannot do such a thing.
Of course, Tony probably wouldn't even do such a thing.
After all, this indeed breaks certain moral and ethical bottom lines.
Just as the diary said, only HYDRA would do such a crazy thing.
But shock is shock, and emotion is emotion, Nick Fury then had to face another very cruel reality:
HYDRA still possesses a secret super weapon!
A super weapon more powerful than Jarvis!
Whoosh!
Thinking of this, Nick Fury's already dark face, like a hard-boiled egg, became even darker.
How dangerous is a super weapon of this level? As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., how could he not know?
After all, the current era is the era of information interconnectivity!
If Zola could truly cheat freely on the network like Jarvis, then it would be too much trouble.
Moreover, if Zola were to create a body for himself, wouldn't that be another Ultron, plain and simple?
As soon as he thought of the huge potential threat that Zola might pose, Nick Fury felt an increasing pressure.
However, very quickly, Nick Fury calmed down again.
Zola should still have many limitations.
After all, during his long period of covert conflict with HYDRA, he had never felt that the other party had any artificial intelligence cheats.
