American comic book: God among men, Saiyan-Kryptonian hybrid

Chapter 159 Captain Marvel and Carrot
Their gazes met, and in the exchange of probing eyes, they revealed the observations deep within their pupils. For a moment, under the blue light reflected in the crystals, they seemed to harbor their own secrets, yet also understood each other implicitly.

"trouble."

These two words reflected the shared feelings of Carrot and Igor, because neither of them knew what to do with the other.

"But not yet."

As they turned their backs, the same thought flashed through the minds of Carrot and Igor at the same time; clearly, neither of them wanted to get involved in the other's mess.

After Carrot accepted the planetary energy crystal, Ego arranged for Mantis to take everyone to stay overnight.

It's safe here for now; at least until Peter Quill successfully controls the planet's energy, everyone's lives are not in danger.

Breakfast, sightseeing, playing, rest – a complete package of services, except they almost had to get the Mantis Woman to give them a foot massage.

Of course, Igor probably wouldn't be able to accept having the same hands that massaged someone else's feet massaged his head.

Soon, only Star-Lord and Ego remained inside the hall.

Everyone wisely refrained from disturbing the father and son's reunion and left to rest.

Mantis became curious about the Guardians of the Galaxy, while Captain Marvel quietly followed behind Carrot and Broly.

Birds of a feather flock together.

The strong will befriend the strong, and the weak will feel safer with the weak.

The magnificent corridor was covered with luxurious carpets, and the footsteps of the three people overlapped.

Danvers, following behind Carrot El, kept a close eye on the two men's movements, and suddenly asked:
"You're from Earth, can I ask you about someone?"

The gems embedded in the wall reflected Captain Marvel's expressionless face. Those who know her know that, due to her personality, Danvers rarely smiles and even shows little emotional fluctuation.

“I ousted Nick Fury, and now he should be out in a black neighborhood fighting dogs for food.”

Carrot knew what Captain Marvel was going to say and shut Danvers down in one sentence.

"What??"

Danvers' gaze faltered for a moment, and Carrot El's arm froze in mid-air as he spoke:

"So you've had dealings with Nick before?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Danvers realized what was happening and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Carrot stopped and turned around, looking at her calmly. Danvers was extremely familiar with that look, for it was the same look she used to give others. She spoke:

"Yes, so you want to avenge your friend???"

Danvers stared at Carrot El's face, his expression shifting with a fighting spirit. He had to admit that those who could be called superheroes usually possessed a stubborn streak.

It is commonly known as fighting to the death even when you know you are no match for them.

This law doesn't just apply to her; it applies to other superheroes as well, including Stark after his transformation.

Danvers had encountered the Supreme Intelligence and fought against Gura, and even when facing them, she had never backed down. Therefore, even though Carrot's strength surpassed hers, she could still calmly answer:
"If you do evil, I will, I promise, even if you have the power to kill Frieza, but if you become the next villain."

"Hahahahaha!"

Captain Marvel's words amused Carrotel, who looked at her with a smile and interrupted her with great interest:
"Can't we come up with something a little more original with this superhero-style rhetoric?"

Even if you do that, it will be in vain.

"Since you understand the meaning of the saying 'the dragon slayer becomes the dragon,' you can probably also understand that Nick Fury, now the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is no longer the little agent you knew who only knew how to pet cats."

Carrot El took two steps forward, getting very close to Captain Marvel, and said in a deep voice:

"Personally, I can understand why talented people make defensive and vigilant preparations for uncontrollable dangers." "But the difference between Nick Fury and Bruce Wayne is that..."

"Even if Bruce prepares thousands of plans and updates hundreds every day, he will never implement them unless you go bad."

"He will even prepare countless plans to pull you back from the brink of ruin. Even if you become bad and controlled, his first principle in all his actions will be to subdue you, and only then will he kill you."

"Because he knows very well that a contingency plan can only ever be a contingency plan."

"That is an extremely subtle yet incredibly important line of measurement, and the bottom line for everything."

"Just like his vow not to kill."

Captain Marvel had never heard of Bruce Wayne, but through Carrot's words, she developed a strong curiosity about him.

Carrot El paced around her, put his hand on her shoulder, and murmured:
"Bruce understands this principle, but Nick Fury doesn't. Even if he only has a contingency plan, once the plan is ready, he will definitely use it on you, regardless of whether you become a threat."

"When the sword that the warrior used to slay the dragon is made, some people will seal it away, because having a sword and not using it is a different concept from not having a sword at all."

"And some people, when the sword is forged, will kill everyone in front of them, regardless of whether they are dragons or not."

"That's why I made him go fight with the dogs for food."

"It wasn't just because he offended me, but because he just picked up a fruit knife and thought he could kill everyone, and he actually did it."

"This applies to me, and it will apply to others as well."

Carrot El's words silenced Captain Marvel. Looking directly at the flickering evasion in Danvers' eyes, she slowly released her, her words carrying a hidden meaning:

"Power makes people arrogant, causing them to stop trusting good people and start trusting bad people instead."

"Because evil people are easy to control; they have greed and can be exploited without any psychological burden."

Hearing this, Danvers suddenly looked up at him: "Are you saying you won't become that kind of person???"

Carrot El smiled faintly and took two steps back:
"No, what I mean is, no matter what happens in the future, don't regret it."

"Even if Nick Fury ends up like this, if you ask him, he will still tell you that he does not regret his decision."

"Also, you're welcome to come back to Earth anytime; it's very different there now."

“You possess extraordinary potential, but you have neglected your training for a long time. If needed, I can help you become stronger.”

Carrot El extended his hand to Captain Marvel with a smile, knowing that he could start organizing his martial arts tournament once he returned.

All the groundwork and preparations have been completed, and it's time for this grand event to usher in a new era.

Captain Marvel hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and shook Carrot's hand to acknowledge their friendship.

Having learned from her failures, Captain Marvel also felt a surge of desire to become stronger, as Carrot El had suggested.

“If Nick is really as you say, then as his friend I should look after him, but I promise I will never cause you any trouble.”

In a sense, Danvers and Peter Quill share similar attitudes toward Earth.

Clearly, none of them wanted to go back.

Peter Quill didn’t want to go back because he couldn’t bear the thought of his mother not being there.

Danvers didn't want to go back because the place had lost its meaning for her existence.

But now, it seems to have reappeared!
"As if you could beat me."

Carrot El replied without any politeness.
