That's not a cat!"
"That's a Flerken!"
"Do you understand what a Flerken is?!"
Nick Fury's face, which was already like a Nick Fury, became even darker, like the bottom of a pot.
He wished he could call that Satan and tell him not to speak in riddles.
What he was doing was highly misleading!
Wasn't this messing with people's minds?!
What cat?
That was clearly a dangerous and terrifying Flerken, alright!
Although it looked exactly like a big orange cat, and even before it swallowed the Tesseract, Nick Fury had also once thought it was just a big orange cat.
But you can't just say in the diary that Nick Fury's eye was scratched out by a cat!
Saying that would make Tony and Natasha, who don't know the truth, misunderstand.
Nick Fury could even imagine now how surprised and incredulous Tony and Natasha would be at this moment.
Especially that Tony, he would definitely laugh out loud without any restraint!
He, Nick Fury, would definitely become a complete and utter joke.
Oh my god!
No!
This was truly terrible.
How was he, Nick Fury, going to face these two diary holders in the future?
Even if Nick Fury explained to them later that the big orange-like creature was actually not a cat at all, but the Universe's number one fierce beast, they wouldn't believe him at all.
Satan has misled me!
Satan has misled me!
Nick Fury couldn't be more depressed.
His single eye immediately stared intently at the diary, hoping that the diary would explain clearly in the upcoming spoilers.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to face Stark and the others in the future.
"But then again, that cat is no ordinary cat; it's a Flerken, which even the Kree fear greatly!"
"It looks cute and adorable on the outside, but when it gets fierce, it can swallow even the Tesseract in one gulp!"
"I just don't know why such a monstrous cosmic beast would look like a big orange cat."
"This truly shows that there are all sorts of strange things in the World."
"Oh, right, where did the Flerken go after spitting out the Tesseract? It seems to have never appeared again!"
"It is said that the Flerken has been safely staying on Earth, survived the Snap, and even gave birth to babies, but I don't know if it's true."
"Could it be that, like before, someone is keeping it as a pet?"
"That would be too interesting."
"So it wasn't a cat after all?"
"I knew Nick Fury couldn't be that useless."
Tony Stark suddenly understood.
Frankly, when he saw Nick Fury's eye scratched out by a cat, he was genuinely shocked, almost spitting out his drink.
The Agent King, couldn't even deal with a cat?
Even a joke wouldn't be told like that.
It turned out to be just a misunderstanding; the so-called cat was not a cat at all, but a "Flerken."
Tony had naturally never heard of a "Flerken" before, but this thing could actually swallow the Tesseract?
You have to know that the Tesseract is the Space Stone!
In other words, the Flerken even swallowed an Infinity Stone!
What kind of monstrous beast was this? It was too abnormal!
No wonder even the Master of the diary called it a "cosmic beast."
If it could swallow the Tesseract, then what else couldn't this terrifying cosmic beast swallow?
From its name "Flerken," it could be seen that this thing seemed to be capable of devouring anything!
Tony truly hadn't expected that such a level of existence was hidden on Earth.
He just didn't know why such a terrifying existence would look exactly like a cat.
"What a pity!"
Nick Fury couldn't help but shake his head secretly, a look of uncontrollable regret appearing on his face.
Such a super weapon like the Flerken was lost by him!
This was arguably the most regrettable thing Nick Fury had experienced in the past decade or so.
If the Flerken were still around, it would undoubtedly be a major super trump card for S.H.I.E.L.D..
Although Nick Fury didn't have a method to control the Flerken, no matter what, having this super beast would give them confidence, wouldn't it?
Nick Fury even wondered if the Flerken would have directly swallowed Loki when he came to Earth to cause trouble.
But unfortunately.
The Flerken was gone!
Since the Flerken disappeared, Nick Fury had also spent some effort searching for it.
But the result was undoubtedly nil.
The Flerken looked no different from a big orange cat, so how could Nick Fury find it?
He couldn't possibly round up all the big orange cats in the U.S., could he?
That was clearly unrealistic.
So, although unwilling, Nick Fury ultimately had to accept the fact that the Flerken was completely lost.
However, Nick Fury truly hadn't expected that the Flerken had actually given birth to babies.
So, does this mean there are now two Flerken on Earth?
No, not necessarily two, it should be at least two.
After all, who knows how many babies the Flerken gave birth to?
Considering the Flerken's incredibly formidable strength, Nick Fury was momentarily unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
After these thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, Nick Fury refocused his gaze on the diary.
Waiting for the diary to continue spoiling.
However, after several minutes passed, the diary remained motionless.
Nick Fury knew that Satan had once again arbitrarily stopped updating.
"That's enough!"
Bang!
Shaking his head, Nick Fury closed the diary with a Snap, then carefully placed it in a drawer and locked it.
Although all current intelligence indicated that no one other than the diary holders could see the diary, let alone take it away.
But as a top Agent, Nick Fury's caution was deeply ingrained.
After he had done all this, Nick Fury finally picked up his trench coat and, dragging his tired body, left the Triskelion.
After dealing with so many things, Nick Fury was truly a bit tired.
The spoilers in the diary and other related matters could be dealt with tomorrow.
…
"Officer, there's something I think you need to know."
The next day, at the Triskelion.
Hawkeye Barton appeared before Nick Fury, looking very serious.
Nick Fury, who was handling related matters, put down the documents in his hand and glanced at Barton with his single eye.
"Speak."
"Captain America is gone."
Hawkeye Barton immediately reported, then paused and added, "The elderly Captain America, and Peggy Carter, they both disappeared, they moved out."
These two guys both disappeared?
Nick Fury immediately knew that this was Future Captain America deliberately avoiding him!
The purpose was to prevent him from bothering him again.
Nick Fury remained calm on the surface, but inwardly, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
It seemed this Captain was determined not to tell him any future-related information.
Through his understanding of the Captain America in his own Universe during this period, Nick Fury was not too surprised by this.
"Officer, what should we do next?"
"Do we need to continue searching for him?"
Hawkeye Barton's voice continued, and he earnestly sought Nick Fury's opinion.
"No need."
After some deliberation, Nick Fury made this decision, "Barton, your mission is over."
Since Captain had so clearly expressed his attitude, Nick Fury ultimately decided not to force him anymore.
Anyway, he already had a diary.
Although the future spoilers on it were fragmented and random, it was already enough for Nick Fury.
This was foreseeing the future!
Having the diary was good enough, why ask for more?
Of course.
This only meant that Barton's mission was over, but it didn't mean Nick Fury would ignore Future Captain America.
Given Nick Fury's personality, even if it was Captain America, even if it was an elderly, white-haired Captain America.
As long as the other party possessed extraordinary power, it was a potential threat.
Nick Fury would not allow such a threat to remain unchecked.
Even if he rationally judged that the elderly Captain America should not cause trouble, he no longer intended to pester the elderly Captain America.
However, some of the other party's circumstances and movements must also be kept under control.
Just like in "Captain America 2," if it weren't for the unexpected assassination attempt on Nick Fury.
Captain America probably wouldn't have known for who knows how long that his neighbor was an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
However, there was no need to waste an ace Agent like Barton on this kind of thing.
After dispatching Barton, Nick Fury called Coulson over again.
He assigned this task to the honest Coulson.
However, with Coulson, Nick Fury did not reveal Captain America's true identity.
He merely instructed them to secretly investigate Harrison Hymer and then send people to secretly infiltrate Harrison Hymer's side, nothing more.
"Oh, right."
Besides the matter of the elderly Captain America, Nick Fury pondered for a moment and then gave Coulson another mission.
What mission?
Naturally, it was the mission to investigate Zhao Helen.
Nick Fury still placed great importance on that cheat-like scientist who would invent the Regeneration Cradle in the future.
"Understood, Officer!"
The honest Coulson was as reliable as ever, and he left in a hurry after receiving the order.
Nick Fury handled some other matters, and then used an encrypted line to communicate with the "new Pierce" who had just "taken office."
Only after confirming that everything was OK did he feel relieved.
The Skrulls were indeed born for espionage, not to mention that Nick Fury's side was indeed very well prepared for this operation.
The other party adapted to their position very smoothly and did not show any flaws.
So yes, from now on, HYDRA's boss had become Nick Fury's subordinate.
In other words, Nick Fury officially began to control HYDRA.
The huge problem that had been bothering Nick Fury for a long time was finally perfectly resolved.
Then, there was only one other huge problem left that was bothering Nick Fury.
The Skrulls!
According to the spoilers in the diary, Nick Fury had already developed a high degree of suspicion that Talos had lied to him!
There was absolutely no way there were only this many Skrulls on Earth.
This matter was also like a bone stuck in Nick Fury's throat, making him feel uneasy and restless, unable to let go until it was thoroughly understood.
But investigating the Skrulls was by no means an easy task.
On one hand.
The Skrulls were his secret trump card, and if he arranged another force to investigate the Skrulls, it would mean his secret trump card would be exposed.
This was not Nick Fury's preferred option.
On the other hand.
The Skrulls were not ordinary people, especially the group of Skrulls under Nick Fury.
They had been spies under Nick Fury for a long time, and they were more than familiar with the ins and outs of espionage.
Their anti-reconnaissance methods were no weaker than those of ordinary Agents.
Coupled with the Skrulls' various physical qualities, which far exceeded those of ordinary humans, this made the difficulty of this task soar even further.
Even Nick Fury had to deal with it cautiously.
So, considering all these circumstances, after much deliberation, Nick Fury still made a decision.
Tony Stark!
The person to complete this mission was undoubtedly Tony Stark, who, like himself, also possessed a diary.
Firstly, Tony already knew about his relationship with the Skrulls through the diary.
So, there was no question of exposure in front of him regarding this matter.
Of course, this was only one reason.
What Nick Fury valued most was Jarvis.
Considering this kind of silent, long-term surveillance mission, what could be more efficient and safer than Jarvis?
If Talos and his people secretly contacted other Skrulls, unless they deliberately avoided all cameras, recorders, and other equipment, they would not be able to escape Jarvis.
But would they do that?
Nick Fury thought the possibility was still very small.
After all, those Skrulls didn't know that Nick Fury already suspected them, did they?
So Nick Fury happily met Tony Stark again in an inconspicuous place.
"I really didn't expect that one day I would become a spy."
The Playboy sat casually opposite Nick Fury in a very lazy posture, complaining aloud.
"Life is full of surprises, isn't it?"
Nick Fury shrugged with a profound tone.
"Alright, we've exchanged greetings, let's just get straight to the point!"
Tony didn't want to chat with an old man like Nick Fury, so he went straight to the point.
Nick Fury also didn't waste any words.
He told Tony all about his plan to ask the Playboy to investigate the Skrulls.
And the final result was completely within Nick Fury's expectations; Tony agreed almost without hesitation.
After all, Tony really couldn't stand by and do nothing about something like the Secret Invasion.
"You must have me figured out, right? I hate this feeling."
Tony just complained.
Bang!
Nick Fury, full of confidence, took out a document and placed it in front of Tony.
On it, clearly, was the information Nick Fury currently possessed about those Skrulls.
