The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 427, 770, and 771: Pre-Battle Mobilization

"Damn it, something terrible must have happened on Earth that S.H.I.E.L.D. can't handle, otherwise Fury would never have contacted me!"

For the past decade or so, Carol Danvers has never received a distress signal from Earth, which has made her almost forget about her home planet.

Without the slightest hesitation, Carol Danvers abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to interrogate the space pirates. After knocking them unconscious, he handed them over to the planet's natives to deal with.

Then, he soared into the sky like a meteor, bursting out of the planet's atmosphere and returning to the small spaceship hovering in space, which had activated its 'stealth mode'.

"Fury, I'm coming right away. No matter what disaster we encounter, you must hold on!"

After inputting Earth's interstellar coordinates, Carol Danvers piloted her spaceship to a nearby jump point to perform a remote interstellar jump.

Although she can physically traverse the universe after activating her [Binary Form].

However, her own flight speed is ultimately limited, and when undertaking long-distance interstellar travel, she will mostly have to rely on interstellar jumps using interstellar spaceships.

Otherwise, by the time she flies to Earth, the grass on Nick Fury's grave will probably be over two meters tall.

……

[Agency: S.H.I.E.L.D.].

In a conference room, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and other members of the Avengers gathered together. Even Tony Stark and Reed Richards, who were originally busy developing the Ultron System, were called back.

This demonstrates just how much Nick Fury valued this pre-war mobilization meeting.

"Wow, this seems to be the first time in history that the entire [New Avengers] team has been present?!"

Thunderbolt's gaze swept over everyone one by one, then he put on an eager look and said:

"I don't know why Commander Fury has summoned us in such a hurry, but I guess it's because some big event is about to happen?"

"Hehe, looks like it's almost time for me to show off my skills!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but steal a glance at the Black Widow sitting to his side, clearly still feeling somewhat unwilling to give up on the idea of ​​hooking up with her after so long.

That's why he was planning to take this opportunity to show off his manly qualities and increase his chances of success when he invites someone out next time!

Captain America, Tony Stark, and several other original Avengers all looked at the Human Torch with the eyes of someone who thought he was an idiot.

I really don't know why Nick Fury would invite this kind of guy to join the Avengers. Doesn't this just lower their prestige?
And it's really bad luck to be on a mission with this kind of idiot!

"Come on, Jonathan, just shut your mouth."

The stone man curled his lip and said sarcastically, extremely displeased, "I'm not trying to be mean, but you're always the one who drags us down on every mission. I really don't know how you have the nerve to sit here and brag like that?"

Who are you calling a drag on?

Feeling insulted, Thunderbolt was instantly enraged (in a physical sense).

It's one thing for you to undermine me in private, but how could you slander me in front of my 'goddess'?

If I chicken out, how am I supposed to hook up with someone?
So... I'm not done with you today!

Thunderbolt immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, as if he wanted to have a showdown with the Stone Man.

The stone man, naturally, wouldn't tolerate his bad habits. He suddenly stood up, shook his massive stone fist, the size of a rice cooker, and said provocatively:
"I'm talking to you... What, you're not happy? Want to taste my fist?"

Everyone was speechless at the sight. Were these two just incompatible by nature?

Why do they keep arguing as soon as they meet?

However, considering that the two had experienced similar situations before, none of the original Avengers, including Captain America, stepped forward to persuade them to let the matter rest.

Because it's pointless to talk to them; neither of them is the type to listen to reason, and it'll just be a waste of breath.

It would be easier to let the two of them fight it out and settle the score.

"Ben, Jonathan, could you two please keep quiet?"

The Invisible Woman grabbed her brother and gave Reed Richards, who was sitting opposite her, a pleading look.

There was nothing they could do; the stone man was the one who always listened to the other.

Although Reed Richards and The Thing had a minor conflict due to Nick Fury's deliberate instigation, they have reconciled and restored their previous friendship over time.

"Ben, now is not a good time to argue..."

Reed Richards immediately understood, so he leaned close to the stone man's ear and whispered something. The stone man then obediently sat back in his chair, turned his head to the side, and ignored the Human Torch opposite him.

A brief silence finally returned to the conference room.

A few minutes later, Nick Fury and Maria Hill hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.

"Things don't seem too good."

Seeing the somber expressions on their faces, Captain America and the others immediately realized that this incident looked very serious.

As expected, Nick Fury got straight to the point after taking his seat: "The reason I've called you all here in such a hurry is because Earth is about to face the greatest crisis in its history..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Isn't it? Come again?

It's only been a few days since the last major disaster.
Σ(⊙▽⊙“a???

Eh?
Wait a moment.

Was that bald-headed guy just saying it was the biggest crisis in history?

"Heh, Fury, guess why I'm not surprised at all when I hear this news?" Tony Stark tapped his fingertips together in front of him, forming a tower shape, and said with a serious yet deliberately humorous expression:
"If there weren't any disasters on Earth for a whole month, I'd actually start to feel a little uneasy..."

Tony Stark's words expressed the sentiments of everyone present.

It is unclear when exactly, but one major trouble and disaster after another began to emerge on Earth.

Sometimes they even appear in clusters.

This inevitably makes one wonder if Earth has attracted some kind of evil influence.
"Hey sis, what did I just say? The biggest crisis in history... I bet it's going to be really exciting, right?!"

The Human Torch gave the Invisible Woman a boastful look, then grinned at Nick Fury and said, "Commander Fury, who are we going to face this time? I can lead the charge!"

This idiot!

The invisible woman covered her face with her hands, suddenly regretting that she had told everyone that this guy was her younger brother!

If she hadn't said anything, she could have easily pretended not to know this idiot.

Nick Fury ignored Tony Stark's sarcastic remarks and the Human Torch's self-recommendation, and instead looked at everyone with a serious expression, continuing:

"The enemy we are about to face is Ronan the Accuser from the Kree Empire, and his undead army!!"

"[The Kree Empire]?"

Captain America and the others were taken aback upon hearing this, and then quickly asked, "Fury, what exactly is going on? Why is that guy named Ronan the Accuser attacking Earth?"

Tony Stark, with his hands clasped behind his back and a composed expression, said, "See, I told you so..."

"First the Chitauri Legion, then the Dark Elf Legion, and now the Undead Legion has appeared. Who knows what other strange alien legions will appear next!"

"Heaven knows why the Earth has suddenly become so plagued by disasters."

“Tony, stop speculating. Ronan is here because of the Tesseract!” Nick Fury stated truthfully.

"According to reliable intelligence, Ronan somehow received information that the Cosmic Cube is on Earth, so he personally led his fleet to prepare to land on Earth."

"Wait a moment?"

At this moment, Captain America raised his hand to interrupt, "But the Tesseract was already taken by Thor! Even if Ronan wanted to steal the Tesseract, he should have gone to Asgard, right? What is he doing on Earth?!"

"Captain, that's exactly the key to the problem."

Nick Fury scanned the expressions on everyone's faces with his one eye, then said earnestly:
"We have no way to convince Ronan that the Tesseract is not on Earth, nor can we contact Thor in Asgard, so... this time we can only prepare for the worst."

"Furthermore, according to reliable intelligence, Ronan is a notorious tyrant in the Kree Empire, having invaded and massacred the native inhabitants of other planets. His undead army is far more powerful and cruel than the Chitauri army. His arrival will undoubtedly be an unprecedented catastrophe!!"

"This Ronan guy thinks he can destroy the Earth?" Thunderbolt, as if possessed by a king of arrogance, patted his chest and said confidently:
"Commander Fury, rest assured, as long as I, the Human Torch, am here, no alien can destroy Earth!"

However, people, including Nick Fury, once again turned their attention to him as if he were dealing with a mentally challenged child.

The Invisible Woman sighed inwardly, "Brother, let me tell you, if you really can't control your loose tongue, let's go to the hospital and have it sewn up."
"It sounds like the final battle is about to begin." Tony Stark's expression grew increasingly serious. "Fury, how much preparation time do we have left?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't take more than a day!"

Nick Fury shook his head, then added earnestly, "Actually, this isn't the first time Ronan has tried to invade Earth."

Everyone was shocked by this, and Tony Stark quickly asked, "Wait, you mean Ronan invaded Earth before? But why haven't any of us heard of it?"

"You guessed it right."

Nick Fury slowly raised his head, a hint of smugness on his face, and said:

"More than a decade ago, Ronan and the warriors of the Kree Empire invaded Earth, and even once attempted to destroy it with a super bomb..."

"However, in the end, he was defeated by me and another superhero working together, and finally led his fleet away like stray dogs with their tails between their legs."

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like I'm the Human Torch?"

Nick Fury, who was ready to receive applause and praise from everyone, suddenly noticed that apart from the Human Torch, Captain America, Tony Stark, and others were all giving him strange looks.

As if to say:
"Alright, Fury, stop bragging to us. Do you think we don't know your skill level?"

"No, do you even believe that yourself?"

"You know what, looking at the expression on his face, he actually seemed to believe it. Indeed, the highest level of deception is to deceive yourself first..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the real situation is probably that Fury hid in a safe place and waited for his companions to scare Rosso away before jumping out to claim the credit for himself, thus successfully taking over?"

"The case is solved. He is absolutely capable of doing such a despicable thing."

Although no one said anything, Nick Fury still imagined all sorts of scenarios, almost making himself die of anger on the spot.

Nick Fury's lips twitched slightly, and he explained with a dark face: "More than a decade ago, there was a female Kree warrior named 'Furs' who crashed her plane in Los Angeles due to an accident, and she met me and Coulson, who were then ordinary agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the time."

Finally, with my strong support, she successfully regained her memories and true identity. It turned out she was none other than Carol Danvers, the former test pilot who was officially declared 'dead' in 1989 during testing of Dr. Wendy Lawson's experimental light-speed engine!

"Afterwards, according to her own account, during the test flight of the experimental engine that she and Dr. Lawson were testing, their fighter jet was unexpectedly shot down by the Kree who had come specifically to sabotage the experiment."

"The Kree did this because Dr. Wendy Lawson is actually a Kree scientist who defected from the Kree Empire; her real name is Mar-Vell..."

"Later, the Kree killed Dr. Wendy Lawson in front of Carol. Enraged, Carol destroyed the fighter jet's engine, but unexpectedly gained powerful energy. However, she also lost her memory in the explosion."

"And so, Carol was taken back to the Kree Empire by the Kree, where she was 'brainwashed' and trained into a powerful Kree warrior, until she accidentally crashed her plane on Earth and met me, which is how she successfully regained her memories and identity..."

"Later, with my assistance, Carroll single-handedly shattered all the missiles launched by Ronan's warship, successfully scaring away Ronan's fleet."
