[Frog] Chapter 245: Hela and Gwen
🕑 Added 2024-12-30 16:38:29 +0000 UTCQuestions filled everyone’s minds. As an agent who had been involved in the Battle of New York, Coulson naturally had access to many secrets.
He explained, “After the Battle of New York, Hydra used the scepter to brainwash many agents.”
Through Coulson’s explanation, everyone quickly understood how deeply Bucky had been brainwashed. Their concern shifted to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s next steps.
Coulson continued, “We’ll go into hiding and continue tracking Pierce, but to defeat Hydra, we’ll need the Avengers’ help.”
With the situation at the base temporarily resolved, Alan had already returned home, sporting a look of amusement.
By intercepting Pierce and preventing him from obtaining the Helicarrier, Alan had rewritten the storyline. In the original events, S.H.I.E.L.D. had suffered devastating losses, leaving only Coulson and a few others. Thanks to his intervention, S.H.I.E.L.D. retained some strength, and Pierce was undoubtedly furious.
This disruption of Hydra’s plans would likely prompt them to strike back soon. After that, it would be time for the Scarlet Witch to appear, and Tony Stark would create Ultron.
As Alan pondered this, he suddenly realized that the Mind Stone and Space Stone were both in his possession. Did that mean Ultron and Vision would never appear?
A sense of urgency surged through him, and Alan immediately called out to the Red Queen.

Back at the Avengers Tower, Bruce Banner was hunched over a workbench, studying a serum, while Tony Stark approached, visibly exhausted, a glass of whiskey in hand.
The events of recent days had taken a heavy toll on Tony. Ever the responsible one, he had begun to entertain a bold idea.
"Banner, if we could upload human consciousness into a computer and simulate behavior using AI, we could create more advanced systems like J.A.R.V.I.S., right?"
Banner rubbed his hands together, his gaze distant as he contemplated the feasibility of the idea. But the risks were enormous.
"In theory, yes. But even if we managed to create it, there’s no guarantee it would be capable of combat."
Tony downed his drink, patted Banner on the shoulder, and walked away.
On the balcony, Black Widow and Captain America stood together.
“To think that Pierce was the infiltrator all along. That means Nick Fury’s death must be connected to him,” Steve said.
Black Widow nodded. “Hydra has been around since the ’70s. This time, we have to completely eradicate them. Otherwise, who knows if they’ll resurface again?”
“You’re right. We must wipe them out completely!”

The next day, following the battle, nearly every newspaper and news outlet covered S.H.I.E.L.D.’s downfall. Public opinion shifted to praising the superheroes for their efforts.
Gwen sat atop a skyscraper, clutching a newspaper and excitedly pumping her fist.
She had noticed how misunderstandings about the Emperor had begun to clear up, and Alan was finally being recognized for his efforts.
“So it was all just a conspiracy,” she thought.
The realization deepened her admiration for Alan. Suddenly, her spider-sense flared. Gwen quickly turned around to see a woman clad in black standing behind her.
Reacting instantly, Gwen leaped away, putting distance between herself and the woman.
Whenever her spider-sense activated, it was always a warning of impending danger. Yet, this time, the woman didn’t attack but instead scrutinized her from head to toe.
“Who are you?” Gwen asked warily.
The woman smiled slyly. “Spider-Woman, Gwen, I know your true identity.”
Hearing this, Gwen froze in shock, her nerves betraying her.
