Tony's Iron Armor was simply off the charts when it came to demolition.
In just half an hour, the Zero Unit Floating Aircraft Carrier had become a skeleton of useless fragments, all reduced to piles of scrap metal under the cutting energy beams.
"Mr. Chen Fan, I wonder what you are considering?" J.A.R.V.I.S. spoke with a thoughtful tone.
Human nature is difficult to gauge, and the human heart even more so. While artificial intelligence far surpasses humans in computation, when it comes to understanding human thoughts, even J.A.R.V.I.S., with its advanced processors, could not decipher Chen Fan's intentions.
"I've decided to stay with S.H.I.E.L.D. As for whether Tony accepts S.H.I.E.L.D.'s invitation, tell him not to worry about my opinion!" Chen Fan sat on the lawn, surrounded by soft grass that formed a gentle cushion beneath him. This was another realization he had about the essence of life.
"Understood!" J.A.R.V.I.S. instantly grasped Chen Fan's message. Not to care meant disregarding Thunder Lord's views, which implied that Tony should decline S.H.I.E.L.D.'s invitation!
"By the way…!" As Chen Fan lightly closed his eyes, J.A.R.V.I.S. reminded him, "Mr. Chen Fan, there is new information from the Himalayas; it seems there are differing opinions within. That Big Baldy who offended you has now been imprisoned."
"Oh!" This revelation brought a look of surprise to Chen Fan's face. Following J.A.R.V.I.S.'s report, his expression shifted to one of bemusement as he shook his head. "J.A.R.V.I.S., inform Koro-sensei to come pick me up for a trip to the Himalayas; I need to clarify some matters!"
The changes in the Marvel Universe were becoming increasingly uncontrollable, and Chen Fan's foresight was now practically useless.
Three minutes later, Monster Teacher appeared before Chen Fan.
"Ah! Chen Fan really treats me like a mode of transportation!" Monster Teacher feigned dissatisfaction, rolling its eyes and twisting its tentacle. "Even if it's a bus, you have to pay to get on! Shouldn't you support your teacher a little? After all, I only have five yen!"
Asking for money? Why not ask earlier? Chen Fan rolled his eyes, initially thinking Monster Teacher was throwing a tantrum; it turned out it just wanted money!
"J.A.R.V.I.S.… transfer one million from my account to Koro-sensei's account!" Chen Fan rubbed his face, ignoring the drool dripping from Monster Teacher beside him.
"One million! One million yen! That's too much!" Monster Teacher calculated with its tentacle, but before it could figure out how many discounted items that would buy, J.A.R.V.I.S. mechanically interjected: "Mr. Kill, you're mistaken; it's not one million yen; it's one million dollars!"
"Dollars… wow… Chen Fan will have me at his beck and call from now on!" Monster Teacher adopted an attitude of unwavering loyalty, prompting Chen Fan to shake his head helplessly. The man who was once the King of Assassins had completely flipped his demeanor after becoming a monster!
—Thus,
With one million dollars, Chen Fan acquired a mount whose speed far exceeded Mach 0!
To J.A.R.V.I.S., money was just a string of numbers—something that could be seen but not consumed, and there was no limit to how much could be generated. Even through legitimate channels, J.A.R.V.I.S. could siphon off over a billion dollars.
After witnessing Monster Teacher's corruption by money, the artificial intelligence butler had an idea.
“Mr. Kill, would you be interested in becoming a security consultant for Stark Industries? The annual salary is ten million dollars, with excellent benefits. All you need to do is lend your name to it; in simple terms, it's getting paid without working! I wonder if Mr. Kill would be willing?”
Based on J.A.R.V.I.S.'s calculations, Monster Teacher would undoubtedly agree to such terms; however, what it received was a very straightforward refusal.
“I refuse!” Monster Teacher replied without the slightest hesitation.
“Why?” J.A.R.V.I.S.'s processor ran calculations at lightning speed, yet even after millions of iterations, it still couldn't determine the reason for the refusal.
“Money is only good if there's enough to spend. Chen Fan has given me tuition that can last quite a while!” Monster Teacher scratched his head, speaking in a tone of righteous indignation that nearly caused J.A.R.V.I.S. to crash.
Tuition! That's right! It absolutely refused to acknowledge this as a bribe!
“J.A.R.V.I.S.... the aircraft carrier's modifications are up to you. Take your time with it here. If anyone interferes...” Chen Fan waved his hand, interrupting the conversation between Monster Teacher and the artificial intelligence, his face cold: “If anyone interferes with my aircraft carrier's modifications, they will face immediate annihilation, regardless of who they are!”
Though Chen Fan's voice was not loud, it was heard by everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D.
After leaving those words behind, the figures of Chen Fan and Monster Teacher vanished in an instant.
...
Nick Fury sat in his office chair, hearing the voice echoing in his ears. It made his teeth grind with anger; this was a threat—a blatant threat directed at him.
With a loud bang, he slammed his hand on the desk, causing a coffee cup that had seen years of use to topple over and shatter into pieces on the floor.
Beep beep beep—
Nick Fury, feeling a lingering sense of unease in his chest, glanced at his phone. A message from Coulson had come through a secure channel.
About five minutes later, Coulson and his team would arrive at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, and everything was reported to be in order.
"Good!" Nick Fury replied, a long-lost smile appearing on his face. He was eager to see the expression on the face of the brat who held the title of the world's strongest once the secret weapon was unveiled.
He pressed a button on his desk, and soon the door opened to reveal an alert agent standing at the entrance, ready to receive orders.
"Initiate lockdown. From this moment on, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters is under Level One alert for a hundred miles around. All departments are to monitor closely; no one with ulterior motives is allowed in or out. If any spies or foreign agents are detected, eliminate them immediately!"
"Order received!" The waiting agent turned promptly to carry out the command.

"Sir... S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently recovering the Cosmic Cube, and last century's Captain America is about to be transported to S.H.I.E.L.D.!" J.A.R.V.I.S. relayed the information faithfully; for it, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s counter-intelligence system was just junk.
"Oh!" Tony Stark lifted his head from a pile of equipment, surprised. "I can't believe that Captain America, who was from the same era as the old man, is still alive. Isn't he nearly a hundred years old? Are they planning to showcase him now?"
"Wait... Captain America! Captain Steve! Ah! I want to go see him!" Peter exclaimed with a look of longing as he sat idly by. Big Boy had slipped away as soon as he learned that Coulson was returning to S.H.I.E.L.D.
To be fair, it was Lizard Monster who had caused trouble for Coulson's wife!
However, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s accounting personnel had placed the blame squarely on Peter—
"Stark, are you done yet?" Peter urged from the side as Tony tinkered with some equipment designed specifically for combating vampires.
The two were determined to take action against the vampires' lair!
At that moment, Peter, feeling bored, suddenly slapped his forehead as he remembered something he had forgotten.
“Tony, there’s something I need to tell you. Last night, my mentor and I encountered a monster in the Vampire Division. I wonder if J.A.R.V.I.S. has mentioned it to you?” Peter recalled the creature known as Kabaneri. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. was handling the situation now, his instincts told him that they were not very reliable.
“J.A.R.V.I.S. did mention it to me. It's hard to imagine that there are other worlds connected beyond ours! Tsk tsk! As a scientist, I feel utterly belittled!”
Tony chuckled bitterly. He couldn't help but think that if Newton or Edison knew about these things, they might just jump out of their graves shouting "Mabapi!"
Peter sarcastically replied, “Even if there aren’t other worlds, just the vampires, Tentacle Monsters, mutants, and superhumans we’ve encountered so far are beyond scientific explanation!”
“I no longer believe in science!”
“I’m thinking of putting my faith in the Goddess of Luck to see if I can gain some fortune!” Big Boy spoke confidently.
“Haha!” Tony interjected amidst Peter's self-deprecating laughter, “Spider-Man… have you forgotten something?”
“We have a gentleman here who claims to be a Godslayer.”
