New Plans!!!

While Baron Strucker was busy making intensive preparations for the next capture attempt.

[S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters].

Level 9 Agent Maria Hill walked into the Director's office.

She reported to the one-eyed man standing in front of the window, who appeared to be deep in thought:

"Director, our people accidentally discovered a video online. I think you might find the content quite interesting..."

With that, she used a voice command to cast the video from her wireless device onto the large screen.

"Are you sure this isn't one of those micro-films people post online to kill time?"

After glancing at the video, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury asked with a grim expression.

Maria Hill shook her head slightly.

She then froze the video on a specific frame.

Pointing to the exoskeleton armor worn by one of the soldiers and the Energy Blaster in his hand, she said:

"Director, don't you find this equipment a bit familiar?"

"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury narrowed his one eye and examined it closely.

Then, he slammed his hand onto the desk and cursed angrily:

"Motherf***er... these Chitauri weapons must have leaked from that jerk Tony Stark's hands."

As everyone knew, after the Battle of New York, Stark Industries and the Federal Government had established a special department—the Department of Damage Control, or D.O.D.C.

It was specifically responsible for overseeing the collection and storage of alien and other extraterrestrial materials.

So, blaming Tony Stark for this was certainly correct...

"Send someone to the Department of Damage Control to audit their accounts. Get me the specific whereabouts of those missing Chitauri weapons. I want to know what person or organization is using them!"

Nick Fury thought for a moment, then added:

"Also, immediately run big data analysis on the people and terrain in the video. Find the exact location where the combat took place, and send people to secretly collect all information related to that superpowered individual!"

Now that the authenticity of the video had been confirmed, he had to take it seriously.

As for the superpowered individual in the video, whose abilities seemed somewhat similar to those of Carol Danvers.

Whether to recruit or monitor the person would depend on whether they were willing to cooperate with his work.

Compared to standard recruitment methods.

Nick Fury preferred to start with the target's "weakness," using a mix of carrot and stick to coerce and lure them into submission!

Whether it was Iron Man Tony Stark.

Or Black Widow Natasha Romanoff.

Or any other member of the Avengers.

It could be said that almost all of them had been gathered through these very tactics.

At least until now, this sleight of hand by Nick Fury had never failed!!

But if the other party refused to accept his control and wanted to be a "free agent"...

Then he was sorry.

Nick Fury wouldn't mind arranging a single cell for them in the maximum-security The Raft, where they could spend the rest of their days!

In truth, Nick Fury's thinking was simple, yet stubborn.

Those who submit, prosper; those who resist, perish!!!

Any person or organization that he could not supervise would be treated directly as a threat and an enemy.

And the Earth... did not need superheroes without a "license" to protect it!!!

Just like those superpowered jerks created by the Vought Group.

"Understood."

Maria Hill hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about this video?"

"Ban it across the entire network, of course."

Nick Fury scowled and barked mercilessly, "Do I really have to teach you such a simple thing?"

[Sokovia].

"Damn it, the video I uploaded a few hours ago was suddenly banned across the entire network, and my account was permanently suspended!!"

Pietro fumbled with his phone, shouting indignantly:

"And those platforms didn't even provide a reasonable explanation! Is this the freedom of speech they brag about all day?"

"Carl, do you think it would be better if we just did a live stream next time?"

"It's useless."

Carl shook his head with an indifferent expression, "If Hydra has already noticed, then even a live stream would just get us banned again."

"If we end up getting the entire internet in Sokovia cut off, it wouldn't be worth the trouble!!"

In reality, Carl had long anticipated that the video would be taken down.

After all, Hydra's intelligence capabilities were something even S.H.I.E.L.D., which claimed to monitor the whole world, couldn't compare to.

However, Carl's purpose in uploading the video this time was to make a bold attempt.

He wanted to see if he could use the spread of the video to increase discussion and influence, thereby harvesting more Prestige Points!!

Since he was destined to take a high-profile route in the future anyway.

He naturally wouldn't fear showing his face to the public.

Moreover, if this path really worked.

Then in the future, he would only need to flex his muscles from time to time to maintain his presence, and he would have a steady stream of Prestige Points flowing in.

Raising the Warp's Dimension Strength to level 3 or higher within 3 months would no longer be a difficult task!

And things were exactly as he had guessed.

Not long after the video was uploaded, the system began to trickle in some Prestige Points.

However, it soon began to stagnate under Hydra's aggressive intervention.

But Carl was not discouraged by this.

Because this was only just the beginning.

As long as he grasped the method, he was destined to make a fortune in the future.

Play the long game to catch the big fish!!!

And in these few hours.

Carl had once again gained nearly 1,000 Prestige Points.

His total Prestige Points had even reached 5,217.

Very good, he was one step closer to raising his Dimension Strength to Lv2!!

Besides this.

Carl also wanted to use this video to disrupt Hydra's offensive rhythm.

Minimize their preparation time.

And reap another wave of fat leeks!!!

"Huh?"

Pietro opened his eyes wide in disbelief, exclaiming: "Can they really manage to cut off the internet for an entire country?"

Carl just smiled without explaining too much.

Why would it be impossible?

Currently, among the 13 Root Servers globally, at least 10 were in the hands of the Americans.

If they wanted to cut off your internet, wouldn't that be as easy as pie?!

As far back as the Iraq War in 2003.

Didn't the Americans use the method of cutting off the Root Servers to completely paralyze Iraq's network?

Thereby securing an overwhelming advantage at the start of the war!!

However, this incident served as a reminder to Carl.

If he wanted to have a voice on the internet in the future and harvest more Prestige Points.

Then he would inevitably need to establish a news (media) company that was large enough and belonged exclusively to him.

As for the location... New York would be the first choice, of course!!!

After all, it was the center of the entire Marvel Universe...

Even Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't dare cut off the internet there, right?

Of course, all of this had to be built on the foundation of Carl being able to stand his ground during Hydra's upcoming attack.

Suddenly.

An extremely bold idea flashed through Carl's mind...

Occupy Sokovia.

Become the secret ruler of this place!!!
