I'm a party

Chapter 139 The Power of Darkness

"You want to divide my soul and heart, and then annihilate my true self." Pierce's face changed drastically after realizing what Fury meant. Fury's plan was really vicious. Not only did he want to destroy his more than 20 years of hard work, but he also wanted him to wield the knife himself. This method was really heartbreaking.

"No--!" Seeing the bloodshot in Fury's eyes getting stronger, Pierce was filled with fear. He tried hard to take back control of his body, looking away as far as he could. At this moment, there seemed to be confusion between his brows.

"Don't doubt it. I know you are extremely cautious and the precautions around you are as strict as those of the president. However, I cannot use the power of SHIELD against you, so I asked for help from Academy City and have been silent since then." After Fury finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lu Yifang.

At this moment, Lu Yifang took a sip of tea leisurely, and then raised his head calmly, "Mr. Pierce, I swear in the name of the millions of superpowers in Academy City that I will let you go back. Even if you scream, no one will know what is happening here, and no one can save you."

"This is the power hidden in the dark of your Academy City." Pierce looked to the other side, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes.

"That's true." Lu Yifang nodded and chuckled, "Isn't it interesting? Our relationship is like the conflict between rock, scissors, and cloth. The cloth wraps around the rock, the rock breaks the scissors, and the scissors tear the cloth."

Lu Fang's words are concise and to the point, and he actually describes the relationship between Hydra, SHIELD and Academy City appropriately. First of all, Academy City will never be an enemy of SHIELD, not because of its strength, but because it is just a piece of cake for SHIELD to destroy the academy. What the academy really fears is the meaning of SHIELD. SHIELD represents the government and people, how dare the academy stand as the enemy of all people?

The Hydra in the dark can corrode the Aegis, sever its ties with the government, destroy its credibility, and collapse it from the inside out. Although its cloth is weak, it can cause solid stone to split and disintegrate.

Academy City, on the other hand, is a sharp scissor that removes many constraints from the light world, but it is the overlord in the dark world. The two fight secretly, and the academy is enough to crush Hydra countless times.

Therefore, when SHIELD and the Academy joined hands, Hydra within SHIELD was doomed to be defeated. Unfortunately, Pierce only realized it at this moment, but it was too late.

His mind became more and more chaotic, and his memories were inexplicably layered, as if there were two villains fighting in his mind, making Pierce's face sometimes gentle and sometimes ferocious. Fortunately, Fury helped him, suppressing one with his strength and finally erasing it completely.

"It's done." Pierce's expression returned to calm. Fury breathed a sigh of relief and covered his eyes again.

"It's really a miracle. My mind is clear and I feel like Pierce. All the restraints on my body have disappeared. I was once like a sleeping vegetable, but I never expected that one day I would be able to truly control this body." Pierce, who recovered from his trance, looked at himself and was ecstatic.

"Fury, I'm so lucky to meet you again in such a dangerous situation." Pierce was so happy that he hugged Fury suddenly.

"Me too, Master!" Fury smiled broadly, feeling Pierce's sincere feelings.

"Although many words come to my mind, such as the wrong teachings of the past,

The door opened slightly, and the long memories came to an abrupt end at this moment.

"Xue Lan, I'm in a good mood today, so let's skip the bitter medicine." The old woman turned her back to the door and spoke with a firmness that brooked no room for rebuttal.

"Mrs. Carter, please allow me to be frank. I hope you will think twice before answering the elixir I brought today." An unfamiliar male voice came in at the right time, carrying a certain solemnity that could not be ignored.

The elderly woman suddenly opened her eyes, and the person sitting opposite her was a man in black with a stern expression.

"The current Lord of SHIELD, Fury, has come to find a retired old woman. What is his purpose?"

Fury placed the small box on his knees, with a solemn expression and sincere words, detailing the current crisis.

"So that's how it is. In the past, Hydra was secretly hiding from SHIELD, and I tried my best to stop the Nazi remnants of 'Paperclip', but in the end I was unable to defeat Mr. Stark's willfulness." After Carter finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, full of helplessness.

"It is too late to blame the deceased. He may have noticed something earlier, which is why he suffered this misfortune. We are old friends, and I cannot rest in peace because his last wish has not been fulfilled."

"Ma'am, now is not the time to blame the past or mourn the dead. What we need is a way to resolve this dilemma." Fury reminded, his words leaving no room for doubt.

"I know it in my heart." Carter nodded. "Your actions are appropriate. Hydra has a strict hierarchy. The subordinates have to obey orders from the top. If we can capture their leader, even if SHIELD is damaged, it will not be a complete loss."

"Fury came here to ask for more than just this. Madam, you know that the world is fickle and indifferent, and even on a sickbed, it is difficult to hide one's ears. The world needs a strong supporter, and this job can only be done by SHIELD." Fury's face was solemn and his words were loud and clear.

"The establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D. was forged with the blood and sweat of Madam and her former comrades. In order to preserve this achievement, she and Mr. Stark worked together to create it. Madam has worked hard and made an indelible contribution to the current status of S.H.I.E.L.D. Can you really bear to see it fall?"

"I don't want to do this, but..." Carter shook her head and smiled bitterly, her old age was fully revealed. "I am old now, no longer the heroine who led the Howling Commandos to attack the lair of Hydra. Today, I am just an old man, too weak to stand up. I no longer have the strength to fight Hydra anymore."

Upon hearing this, Fury was not discouraged, but smiled and said, "Madam, the word aging has always been relative. In ancient times, people in the East considered themselves old when they were thirty, but now people are still in their prime when they are forty. Therefore, the word aging is not unchangeable in terms of life span."

After saying that, Fury took out a golden crystal from the box and handed it to Carter.

"This is the 'exotic crystal'. Madam, you should have heard of it. It is only one of its abilities. It can give people supernatural powers. Everyone knows that people with supernatural powers have a much better physique than ordinary people, and their lifespan can be increased by thirty to fifty years. In addition to this thing..." Fury took out a small tube of serum from the box.

"'Blood of Apocalypse' is a magical medicine for supernatural beings. After drinking it, Madam's life span is over 150 years old, which is not surprising. She was less than 100 years old at that time, which can be said to be in the prime of life."

Carter was surprised when he heard this, but he did not have the ecstasy of an ordinary old man. Because the years were long enough, and fatigue came with it, Carter's heart was looking for a place to rest.

In fact, the real Peggy Carter had been frozen in the deep sea with Captain America seventy years ago, and the later Carter only survived in the world for him. Everything he did was supposed to be done after Captain America returned home. Peggy Carter always lived in the shadow of the past.

She stared at the exotic crystal, pondered for a moment, opened the drawer beside the bed with difficulty, and took out a crystal of the same golden color.

"It was given to me by my niece Xuelan. Her words are the same as yours." Carter looked at the crystal in his hand, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

The room was silent for a long time. Carter raised his head and said, "Steve, is he okay?"

"He is as good as ever, driven by his faith and as resolute a warrior as ever," Fury replied.
