Master of the Marvel Universe

"Tony, I'll protect the civilians. You take care of those gangsters." Shen He's face lit up with joy.

"Gangsters? You're saying these are gangsters? They really aren't terrorists? And where did you get that mech?" Tony recognized Shen He's voice.

Even as he attacked, his attention was immediately drawn to Mirage.

"Sir, that is an unprecedented high-strength defensive force field."

"All right, looks like those two have some big secrets. JARVIS, find out where these 'gangsters' came from." Tony was a little annoyed, because he realized Mirage looked even cooler than his armor.

"Yes, sir. The insignias on them indicate that they are members of the Skull Gang from Brooklyn."

"Clichéd name. Sounds like a horror-comedy for kids at nine o'clock at night."

With Tony joining in, Shen He's pressure was greatly reduced. He could even save a few more people along the way. What he did not know was that many people had already filmed the cool mech and uploaded it online, where it quickly spread wildly across the world.

Saiki Kusuo also dealt with his own enemies and teleported back to Shen He's side, secretly helping with his psychic powers.

"Sir, you have a call identified as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D." Tony, who was searching for the remaining enemies, suddenly heard the notification.

"All right, put it through."

"Tony." Fury's voice sounded furious. "Now, take your friends back to your mansion immediately, unless you want to be detained by the police."

"Wait, they aren't my friends." Before Tony could finish, the call was hung up. "Did he just hang up on me? He actually hung up on Iron Man, Tony Stark!"

Tony muttered to himself, but still flew over to Shen He's mech.

"Hey, big guy, follow me. I'm pretty interested in your armor."

"Let's follow him, Saiki. The sun's about to set." Shen He glanced at the sky and controlled the mech to follow.

If there was any place in this world where trouble could be avoided, Tony's residence counted as one. As a famous tycoon, billionaire, and Iron Man, ordinary people really did not dare casually invade his home.

Before leaving, Shen He looked down at the ruined street below. Some bewildered people were trying to find companions who had gone missing. It felt real, and cruel.

In a world like this, ordinary people had no ability to decide their own fates. They were merely supporting characters used to embellish the achievements of heroes.

"So this is your mansion. It really is... luxurious."

Shen He controlled the mech down onto a helicopter landing pad. Before him stood a luxurious villa filled with modern artistic flair, covering several thousand square meters. Swimming pools, a large underground garage, a helicopter landing pad—anything one could think of could be found here.

"More accurately, it's one of my mansions." Tony had also removed his armor. "Maybe you should consider how to deal with them."

Ahead of the landing pad, two men in black suits were walking toward them. One was Coulson; the other was a bald Black man wearing an eyepatch. Without question, he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury.

"Gentlemen, perhaps I should say welcome to the United States, but shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Fury strode up to Shen He. "You turned an entire street into a battlefield and displayed your giant mech before the whole world. Do you know how many civilians were injured?"

"You want an explanation?" Shen He slapped the mech beside him, and a tightly bound man dropped out from inside. "This is the explanation. A Hydra agent. Is that enough, Director Fury?"

"A Hydra agent?" Fury was clearly shocked. "That's impossible. They were already..."

"They were wiped out by Captain America decades ago?" Shen He took over Fury's words and shook his head. "Too naive. Hydra was never destroyed. For decades, they have been hiding among you. Obviously, we accidentally found evidence of their existence, which was why we drew that kind of attack."

"Who exactly are you people?"

Fury's expression turned grave.

These two people who had suddenly appeared were simply too mysterious. Not only did they possess incomprehensible superpowers and seemingly highly advanced mechs, they also knew about S.H.I.E.L.D., knew his name, and even knew about Hydra.
