Hydra's Greatest Obstacle to Seizing Power

Dark, confined, with only a faint white light like a firefly providing the necessary illumination.

Apart from a bed, a chair, a table, and a bathroom for using the toilet and showering, there was basically no other furniture in the room.

Several dozen English books could be seen arranged on a shelf by the bed. There was even a computer and various game consoles on the table.

But the only problem was that there was no internet, nor could any communication signals be received.

This was a secret prison somewhere deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean, originally designed to hold extremely dangerous criminals with superpowers.

Since all contact with the outside world relied entirely on a submersible capable of withstanding immense pressure, the entire prison was completely isolated from the outside.

If some foolhardy prisoner tried to escape through violent destruction, what awaited them would be the impact of seawater at over five hundred atmospheres, followed by suffocation and an excruciatingly painful death.

Unfortunately, since this secret prison had been built, it had never received a prisoner in the true sense of the word.

Because S.H.I.E.L.D. could not afford to provoke those with powerful backers, such as Loki from Asgard.

And those without backers did not need to be imprisoned at all. Once the interrogation was complete and the desired information obtained, they were sent directly to the laboratory as expendable material.

Thus, this underwater prison had remained unused.

Until it welcomed its first resident, who was also the man who had ordered the prison built—former S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury.

The reason this notorious cunning and treacherous Black agent was imprisoned here ultimately came down to the fact that he knew too many secrets.

So many that the newly established Human Federation did not dare place him in an ordinary prison.
