Because This World Has No Batman!
Nick Fury stood in the command room with a dark expression.
Loki said nothing and did nothing, remaining quietly in his cell.
"Dr. Banner, still no news?"
"No, although we've checked many areas, there's still a large area covered. If you don't trust me, I can find someone else."
Banner is the only one among them who works seriously, relying entirely on algorithms to find the Tesseract, and even trying to update the system.
Although he knew where it was, he still wanted to rely on algorithms to find the exact location.
"Of course I trust you, Doctor. You've made many contributions to this world. I'm just worried that Loki might harm Earth with the Cosmic Cube." Nick Fury
"So what do you want to do with the Tesseract, Phase Two?"
Tony was using a tablet to look up information in S.H.I.E.L.D..'s database.
"I'd like to know what this is too."
Steve moved something that looked like a cannon barrel and placed it on the table.
Behind him was Natasha, who shrugged at Nick Fury, indicating that she hadn't stopped the Captain.
"Oh! And this too, weapons of mass destruction. You've switched to arms dealing. Need me to share some experience with you?"
Tony displayed the weapon on the big screen: a missile containing Tesseract, powerful enough to destroy the world.
"Explain it!"
Steve kept his eyes fixed on Nick Fury.
"Alright! You want to know why? I'll tell you, it's because of the Demon King."
Nick Fury pointed in the direction of New York.
"Because of the demonic invasion a year ago! Because of his Superman strength! Because this world has no Batman!!!"
Captain, Tony, Dr. Banner, even the President, you are all his people, and the forces I can find to oppose him are also his people.
He is more dangerous than Superman in comics, with no bottom line or sense of justice. He will kill, greedily seize the wealth of the rich, and manipulate others to work for him.
All I need are weapons—weapons to destroy the Demon King, weapons to protect the world, understand?
Nick Fury's roar echoed throughout the laboratory.
These emotions, suppressed for so long, finally erupted within him. He could only watch helplessly as the country was about to fall into the control of the Demon King.
"... All you want to be Batman, honestly, apart from not needing to wear the black suit, you have absolutely nothing in common with him."
Tony suddenly understood Nick Fury a little; he had had the same thought at the beginning.
They fear that the Demon King will control humanity and rule the Earth.
However, after repeated contact, he gave up on this impossible idea.
Putting aside his even lazier lifestyle, he delegated all company operations to others, while he only cared about spending money.
The Parallel Universe he constantly encountered, the hellish scenery, and the plans for the Chitauri spaceship all made him realize that Earth was too small to contain him.
Even those who follow him will benefit immensely; he himself is a prime example.
"I don't know if your ideas are right or wrong, but in the Demon Group, Limb Regeneration Potion have never made much money from civilians."
Furthermore, since the demonic invasion, the global crime rate has decreased by one-fifth, something unprecedented in history.
Banner continued to update the algorithm.
"Since its inception, the Demon Group has never posed a threat to the world, but Nick Fury, your actions nearly destroyed it!"
Steve angrily smashed the cannon barrel to pieces with a single punch.
The boss once said that Nick Fury wasn't Hydra agent, and now in his eyes, he was even worse than Hydra, at least Hydra had started doing good deeds.
Natasha sighed helplessly, wishing she could retire.
Ring ring ring.
An alarm suddenly sounded in the command center.
"What happened?"
"Chief, the Tesseract has appeared."
The intelligence personnel opened the screen, showing Stark Tower, where a huge blue beam of light pierced the sky, opening a massive hole hundreds of meters wide.
"All units mobilize, head to New York!"
The Helicarrier remained motionless, floating in the air.
I'll be going now.
Tony dons his armor and flies to New York. How could I miss such a grand occasion?
"The item has been found, so we don't need you anymore."
Banner opens Hell Portal.
"Dr. Banner, please give me a ride."
Steve grabbed his shield and followed him into the portal.
"What are you doing! I order you to go to New York."
Nick Fury pulled out a pistol and pointed it at one of the men, feeling uneasy.
"I'm sorry, Director, we have received orders that the Helicarrier is not qualified to join the battle and will only become cannon fodder."
The man being robbed calmly answered Nick Fury's orders.
"Who gave the order?!"
Nick Fury roared.
"The Demon King's order, Fury."
The command room door opened, and Pierce walked in with the fully equipped Crossbones squad.
"Pierce! Why?"
Nick Fury was filled with disbelief.
"Of course, it's for the sake of this world. Joining forces with the Demon King will make the world bigger and better, Demon King..."
"Long live!"
The entire command center erupted in cheers.
???
Nick Fury looked around; only Hill, Natasha, Coulson didn't shout.
"Oh my god, Falk! Pierce, tell me, when did it start?"
Pierce was happy to answer the question.
"Becoming the Demon King's subordinate happened a year ago, but Hydra has been one from the beginning."
"Hydra?"
"I thought you'd already found out. Hydra has been embedded in S.H.I.E.L.D.. since the beginning of World War II. You're the mole, Fury!"
"Fuck... Faco!"
Nick Fury felt a wave of dizziness and nearly fainted; the organization he had dedicated his life to was now his greatest enemy.
Click!
A flash of light
Pierce, holding a camera, explained, "Don't misunderstand, this isn't a funeral portrait. The leader was just curious to see your expression at this moment, so he asked me to take a picture."
"..."
Thump!
Nick Fury was so angry he fainted.
"Put them in jail."
Natasha did not resist. She was a spy, not a soldier. Even Captain America would have a hard time with a fully equipped squad.
Pierce put away his camera; there was one more thing.
"Coulson, it's time. The Demon King said he'll put you and the Captain together. You should really like this job."
Coulson paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'd like to ask how I was supposed to die?"
"Killed by Loki."
"Is that so? It seems that since Loki isn't coming out this time, you'll be the one to see me off."
"Goodbye."
The bullet struck Coulson and vanished in a puff of black smoke.
Watching Coulson disappear, Pierce holstered his pistol, pulled a vial of medicine from his pocket, and finally, he could use it.
I stuck the vial in my arm, not wanting to waste any, and only pulled it out after making sure it was all injected, then carefully put the empty vial away.
Pierce immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body, the wrinkles on his face gradually smoothed out, and his white hair turned golden.
He excitedly opened his eyes, took off his clothes, and his body, which had been overweight and sagging and covered with age spots, regained its youthful appearance, with eight white abdominal muscles clearly visible.
"I feel great right now, hahaha..."
Pierce the Batman Who Laughs.
Everyone in the command center witnessed Pierce's youthful transformation, their eyes burning with excitement; such Qiji was happening right before their eyes.
Pierce laughed for several minutes before stopping, noticing the stares from those around him, which was exactly what he wanted.
"The Demon Group's internal store sells them. Although there are membership level restrictions, you're still young, so you have plenty of time to buy the Rejuvenation Potion."
"Yes, long live the Demon King!"
