Transformation into the Marvel Universe

===================

"Hydra originates from an even older era. I'm not too concerned with history; I can only say that Red Skull was just a major leader of Hydra, not its founder."

Viper briefly recounted the history of Hydra, with much of her explanation being contradictory and leaving Daisy somewhat confused.

"Oh well, it's basically an organization of various ambitious careerists dissatisfied with the status quo. The name doesn't really matter; it's just that Hydra is a well-known name and has a reputation, so people gather under it," Viper concluded, showing her lack of interest in the historical details but summarizing accurately.

No one really cared about Hydra's lofty goals. The top leaders each had their own agendas, and those grand goals were just for brainwashing the lower ranks.

"Daisy, if you want to leave, I can cover for you. If you want to join, it's not a big deal either. At this stage, Hydra can indeed help you secure the deputy director position. Ultimately, the choice is yours."

With Daisy's subtle guidance, Viper felt she had taken control of the conversation and handed the decision back to Daisy to see what she would choose.

"Will Hydra destroy the world?"

"At least I won't."

"Will Hydra destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"That's an internal issue for S.H.I.E.L.D., not my concern."

"Will Hydra..."

Daisy's questions came rapidly, and Viper answered just as quickly. By the end, even Daisy felt that Hydra seemed like a harmless charitable organization, offering benefits to its members when joining.

Daisy contemplated repeatedly, portraying the image of a confused girl at a crossroads in life with great realism.

After much deliberation, even though she was quite willing and happy in her heart, she had to complete her final act.

"Ophelia, were you telling the truth just now?"

Viper wasn't entirely confident and didn't dare to make a guarantee. She mentally reviewed her words and, not completely sure, nodded, "At least I didn't lie to you intentionally."

Daisy took out the Lasso of Truth. Viper, thinking she might be up to some evil, and wanted to torture her again, this time with ropes instead of hanging steel, instinctively took a step back.

"This is the Lasso of Truth from Greek mythology. I hope we can be more honest with each other."

Viper hadn't heard of the Lasso of Truth, but being familiar with the magical side due to her contract with the dark god Chthon, she was curious.

"Anyone bound by it will tell the truth? Can I borrow it?"

Daisy, with a strange look on her face, casually tossed the lasso. It extended ten meters before automatically returning to her hand.

"See?"

Viper pondered, "Can you try it on my servants? I want to see its effect."

Daisy agreed.

Her pseudo-Lasso of Truth wasn't the same as Wonder Woman's, but according to Daisy's experiments, once the lasso bound a target, it released a huge coercion, as if there was something terrifying within it.

Under this fear, people would be in a trance-like state, answering questions truthfully. This could be considered a secondary ability of the lasso.

Viper soon summoned five servants, all the ones she suspected but couldn't find any concrete evidence against.

The hidden pressure of the Phoenix within the lasso was simply unbearable for ordinary people. Today was Viper's lucky day as, among the five people, she discovered a spy from Baron Strucker.

In a state of fear, the maid spilled everything she knew. Viper's face turned pale when she heard it, and Daisy's face also changed. It was then that Daisy realized her secret relationship with Viper had caught the attention of Baron Strucker.

The fate of a spy was obvious. Soon after, Viper composed herself. Thinking about Baron Strucker's vigilance toward her, she considered Daisy taking over S.H.I.E.L.D. a good thing. The two could form a tighter alliance, one light, and one dark, to deal with Baron Strucker together.

Wrapping the lasso around her wrist, Viper said, "Ask away."

It turned out that Viper had never lied. She had no intention of destroying the world and no interest in S.H.I.E.L.D. There were no conflicts of interest between them.

Viper then asked Daisy. As the current owner of the lasso, the pressure of the Phoenix would affect her, but she could resist it better. If faced with a question she didn't want to answer, she could choose not to.

Viper's questions were quite diverse. For example, she asked if Daisy minded Viper's involvement in human experimentation. Daisy's response was as long as it didn't involve people close to her, she didn't care, though she added it was better to do it less.

"If someone wanted to kill me, would you come to save me?"

"I would, Ophelia. You're my friend."

With a final snort, Viper returned the lasso to her.

Daisy didn't wait much and quickly left the villa. Their relationship became even more stronger, with Viper as her sponsor, and Daisy's identity within Hydra was fully established.

...

With Viper's endorsement, Daisy transitioned from a fake Hydra member to a real one. With the help of the bald brother, Jasper Sitwell, and Ward, and occasionally from Crossbones, her position within S.H.I.E.L.D. became more stable. Meanwhile, Hammer Industries thrived externally, with the Ministry of National Defense's approval of their robotic soldiers causing their stock prices to skyrocket.

No one would refuse money, and now with the military's acceptance, Daisy began to consider whether the NYPD could also accept robotic soldiers?

With intellectual property under Hammer's control, the military wouldn't demand restricted sales. However, Daisy still communicated with the military, and with the help of some big shots in the Pentagon who had stakes in Hammer Industries, a message was soon sent back: the military demanded the latest models for their use, while older models could be sold domestically at discretion.

Daisy specifically discussed this matter with Director George three times in a row, and the police agreed in principle. She planned to sell the outdated models to the police force, which would not only address the increasing casualty rates in New York but also earn her some extra money.

In her opinion, she did a good deed for ordinary citizens.

However, to her surprise, just three hours after the news was released, it caused a huge uproar. As the protagonist of the incident, Daisy faced a wave of criticism.

"Miss Johnson, why do you go against the current development of mankind?"

"Miss Johnson, many media outlets say you have an antisocial personality. Can you comment on that?"

"Miss Johnson..."

Numerous reporters lined up in front of the New York courthouse, and there were crowds of citizens in the distance holding anti-war signs.

The cause of the incident was nonsense. A New Yorker, feeling bloated, believed that robotic soldiers had no authority to use lethal force and went on to argue about human rights surpassing machines, even for criminals, that they should be treated humanitarianly.

This idiot not only sued Hammer Industries and the NYPD but also included the Department of Defense in the defendants' list.

A total of 120 courts didn't want to handle the case, but with the support of other jealous arms companies and the media, as well as lawyers pushing forward, it eventually became a major case.
