Iron Man, You Are Not the Only Superhuman

"I'll keep the power-type Talisman here. As for the utility Talisman, I'll continue researching them to see if I can develop powerful minions like Strucker did. After all, while I don't have any skilled researchers here, Strucker doesn't have Rat Talisman, which is my advantage..." Valmont made his decision after a long silence.

"The Dog Talisman and the Horse Talisman are also worth studying a bit. No, forget about the Dog Talisman; keeping it on your person is more effective!"

Valmont needs his own strength, but he also needs a group of capable Valmont. One not-so-bright Hak foo is clearly not enough.

Moreover, the cautious Valmont did not want to place all the power of the Talisman on himself, because he was still somewhat wary of the sleeping Demon Sorcerer. He was only slightly overconfident and dared to confront Alexander Pierce, but he was worried that after all the power of the Talisman was placed on him, Demon Sorcerer might have some backup plan.

Therefore, while it's possible to use a portion of the Talisman's power, Valmont still refuses to keep all the Talisman's power within himself.

This Valmont, which was beginning to expand, remained overly cautious!

"Damn it!" On the other end of the line, Alexander Pierce's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he saw Valmont hang up on him. He muttered a curse under his breath, then asked his subordinate, "How's Nick Fury? Is he in any danger?"

"Nick Fury isn't in any life-threatening danger, but he's investigating who did this. What about us?" Agent Sitwell asked Alexander Pierce hesitantly in a low voice.

"Well, no matter what, our people can't be exposed. This incident was all caused by Valmont, so Valmont should be in charge. Find a way to let Nick Fury find out that not only was he attacked, but Section 13 and the DEO were also attacked..." Alexander Pierce quickly made a decision and said in a deep voice.

"Since Valmont already has a public identity, let Nick Fury know about his public identity as someone who steals the Talisman!"

"Yes!" Sitwell responded and quickly went to begin preparations.

"No! This world is too dangerous. I must have my own team, a force strong enough to maintain world peace!" On the other side, in the S.H.I.E.L.D.. medical bay, Nick Fury's eyes flickered slightly. He remembered a plan he had once conceived, and perhaps now was the time to put it into action!

"There are already Iron Man, Superman, and Batman in this world, but they are too scattered and cannot unite their power, especially Superman. His abilities seem powerful, but we can't find out who this guy is..."

"Batman is the same. He only operates in Gotham City. There's been a lot of activity in Gotham City lately, but outsiders can't get involved at all. It's practically become Wade Group's autonomous territory, which is also a problem!"

"Let's start with Tony Stark, then see if we can find Hulk, Energy Kid, and other superhumans..."

Nick Fury had made up his mind, and at the same time, the famous Black Widow Scarlett... cough cough, Black Widow Natasha Romanoff also came over with the latest intelligence.

Clearly, Sitwell had already had his men release some useful intelligence, and Black Widow Natasha, who was investigating the relevant information, quickly received it and reported it to Nick Fury.

"Valmont? Dark Hand? Section 13? The DEO?" Nick Fury frowned as he looked at the intelligence report brought by Black Widow Natasha. "I already knew about the Talisman in Section 13, but the DEO got involved too? Well, the head of the DEO is dead? Then I'm much luckier than him..."

"Should we send someone into the DEO? They're leaderless right now..." Black Widow Natasha's eyes flickered slightly as she asked in a low voice.

"No, many people will definitely want to eat this piece of meat. Let's focus on the Talisman first. Let's contact Black in Section 13, share information, and retrieve the Talisman together!" Nick Fury made a quick decision and struggled to get off the hospital bed.

"Fury, what's wrong with your injuries?" Black Widow Natasha asked Nick Fury in a low voice, her brows furrowed slightly.

"It's nothing, this minor injury won't kill me. I didn't lie in bed this long when I lost an eye. If I keep lying here like this, my body will degenerate!" Nick Fury shook his head with a smile, speaking casually in a low voice, "Besides, there are more important things for me to do now..."

At Tony Stark's home, Tony Stark was incredibly relaxed during this time. The affairs of Stark Industries were handled by Yinsen, Pepper, and Obadiah, so he didn't need to show his face at all. He only needed to punish evil and promote good as Iron Man, which was enough to make Stark Industries ' stock price rise steadily.

Especially after the incident involving the Horse Talisman, Tony Stark's body had fully recovered and was no longer affected by palladium poisoning. Tony Stark also conducted further research and modifications on his Arc Reactor.

Although Tony Stark did not discover any entirely new elements, the new generation of Arc Reactor has more abundant energy than the original Arc Reactor, giving the armor greater firepower.

During this time, Obadiah did consider taking action against Tony Stark, but firstly, he didn't have the strength to deal with Tony Stark at the moment; secondly, due to Tony Stark's Iron Man identity, Stark Industries ' stock price had skyrocketed, and Obadiah had made an untold fortune during this period. Obadiah really didn't want to kill off his cash cow...

Especially since Tony Stark, his cash cow, was clearly immersed in his superhero dream and no longer paid much attention to the affairs of Stark Industries, Obadiah, even with Yinsen and Pepper keeping him in check, at least no longer had to put up with Tony Stark's bad temper.

Therefore, Obadiah decided to be patient, waiting until he had made more money and Tony Stark could no longer bring more value to the Stark Industries before figuring out how to get rid of Tony Stark...

"Jarvis, have you figured out what Superman's abilities are?" Tony Stark, who was in his control room, suddenly looked up and asked, as if he had just remembered something.

"..." However, to Tony Stark's surprise, Jarvis did not reply. The entire control room was empty, with only the sounds of him and the Mechanical Arms building the Mecha.

"Jarvis?" Tony Stark frowned, tapping the table as he did so. Instantly, the surrounding Iron Armor flew onto him, covering him completely.

Having witnessed so many extraordinary events, Tony Stark's vigilance has increased considerably. Now, when he senses something is amiss, even at home, he cautiously dons his Mecha.

Especially this time, he has equipped his Mecha with waterproof and internal circulation devices, so even if it falls into the Ocean, it will not affect his breathing, and no water will seep in!

"Sir! There's an intruder! He just hacked me for a while!" Just then, Jarvis logged back in and provided information about the intruder.

"Intruder: Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., was previously attacked and is suspected of having been injected with the Super Soldier Serum. His strength is comparable to that of a normal Super Soldier, but not as great as John Walker we encountered last time..."

"Recovered so quickly? And so knowledgeable about my files? You've scrapped S.H.I.E.L.D.. files quite a few times, haven't you?" Nick Fury chuckled as he entered the control room, just in time to hear Jarvis's voice. Jarvis was speaking casually when he suddenly raised his hand. "Hey! Relax, Mr. Stark, I'm not here with any ill intentions this time..."

"I don't believe that someone who hacked my AI system and broke into my home didn't have malicious intent. You know, with what you're doing now, I can kill you and win the lawsuit for illegally trespassing on my property and being killed..." Tony Stark said in a deep voice, his voice filled with displeasure.

"I'm certain that the legal team employed by Stark Industries is indeed capable, but I truly meant no harm..." Nick Fury slowly lowered his hand, shook his head, and said softly, "Come to think of it, your father and I were friends..."

"Heh, trying to build connections doesn't work on me!" Tony Stark scoffed, speaking with disdain.

"Well, you don't even have a sofa in this control room, that's disappointing..." Nick Fury looked around, then sighed softly, looking at Tony Stark seriously, and said, "Tony Stark, you don't actually think you're the only superhuman in the world, do you?"

"Are you kidding me?" Tony Stark interrupted Nick Fury before he could finish speaking. "Isn't that Superman's always flying around and stealing my thunder a superhuman? You, who's been injected with some kind of Super Soldier Serum, may be a bit weaker, but aren't you a superhuman too?"

"..." Nick Fury fell silent for a moment. He realized that his conversation with Tony Stark had been somewhat unsuccessful from the very beginning. Where exactly was the problem? Why did Tony Stark, who was always immersed in his own world, have such a clear understanding of this world? He'd only been Iron Man for a short time; had he really changed so much?

In fact, Nick Fury had long planned to contact Tony Stark, but in his initial plan, he intended to wait until Tony Stark's palladium poisoning worsened before telling Tony Stark about the New Element left behind by his father Howard Stark...

Even if Tony Stark isn't moved to tears, at least he'll be able to listen to him properly and won't have a bad impression of him.

However, Tony Stark has now recovered his health due to the Horse Talisman, which has instantly reduced the value of Nick Fury's chips.

Furthermore, Nick Fury had to pretend he didn't know Tony Stark had been restored by the Horse Talisman, since John Walker and another Super Soldier had only gone there because of Nick Fury's cooperative mission, and had even fought with Tony Stark...

"I've come here this time to cooperate with you. Your strength alone is not enough to protect this world, because there are many dangers lurking in the shadows of this world. You can't predict what kind of power will emerge next to threaten this world..." Nick Fury's thoughts raced as he looked at Tony Stark and reorganized his words.

"You could have predicted this? Didn't you come to me for protection because you felt insecure after being attacked? Are you really here to cooperate?" Tony Stark raised an eyebrow, interrupting Nick Fury again.

"..." Nick Fury's face darkened, but before he could say anything more, Tony Stark continued.

"I know why you were attacked. There's a Talisman on your back. I saw the data. You should be glad you ran into that redhead instead of that guy. Otherwise, with your attitude, you would have had a hard time surviving..." Tony Stark waved his hand and pulled up a bunch of video footage, which was the footage of Nick Fury's attack.

"You mean Energy Kid? You know his real identity?" Nick Fury's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked at Tony Stark and asked.

"Energy Kid? What kind of bullshit title is that? I advise you not to utter that awful name if you actually meet him, or you'll probably die a horrible death!" Tony Stark paused for a moment, then sneered.
