Marvel: Spider-Man? No, I'm Superman!

"Yes, Lord Thanos, the human civilization on Earth is very weak, but it is protected by several individuals with special abilities..."

Seeing Thanos's serious expression, Corvus Glaive hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"However, I beg you to give me another chance, give me more time, and I will definitely be able to complete your instructions and completely conquer the earth."

Corvus Glaive knew Thanos's ruthlessness, and that he never kept idle people under his command.

Therefore, having suffered a crushing defeat, he must prove that he still has value, otherwise...

"It's not necessary..."

However, Thanos coldly rejected his request.

"Lord Thanos, General Corvus Glaive underestimated his enemy. Please give him another chance, you mustn't..."

Corvus Glaive's face instantly turned extremely ugly, but in the end he didn't have the courage to refute Thanos and could only await the judgment of fate.

Upon seeing this, Proxima Midnight, who was standing nearby, suddenly knelt down along with Corvus Glaive and pleaded for mercy.

"I said we don't need it because our next goal is not Earth."

Thanos spoke with a cold expression.

After a pause, he continued, "It's Nidavellir!"

"There, I will obtain the supreme artifact that allows me to perfectly manipulate the Infinity Stones!"

Thanos suddenly stood up from his throne, picked up his double-edged sword from the side, and slowly walked to the front of the warship.

Pointing his battle blade directly at the starry universe, he exuded an incomparably majestic and domineering aura.

Then he said in a deep voice.

"The entire army, unite and march with me!"

"Target: Nidavi!"

"Yes, great Thanos, your loyal servant will always obey your commands, and your fame will surely spread throughout the entire universe!"

Seeing that Thanos seemed to have no intention of punishing him for this defeat, Corvus Glaive instantly cheered with a look of relief, raising his arms in celebration along with Thanos.

……

Meanwhile, Thanos's space fleet was heading to Nidavellir.

The first large-scale battle between humans and extraterrestrial beings, the Battle of New York, has come to a complete end.

Numerous superheroes with special abilities made their appearance in this battle, making their existence known to the whole world.

However, although they successfully repelled the alien invasion this time.

However, it also resulted in heavy casualties in New York City.

More importantly, it allowed all of humanity to truly witness the threat from an army of extraterrestrial beings, following the previous threat from beyond the universe.

This victory has awakened humanity.

Earth and human civilization have long been exposed to the vision of other extraterrestrial beings in the universe.

They never know when they will be invaded by alien creatures.

Amidst a global panic about extraterrestrials.

The devastated city of New York is undergoing disaster relief and reconstruction efforts.

In addition to publicizing humanity's victory in the war against the alien invasion, the news media also focused on highlighting the superheroes who played a significant role in the Battle of New York.

Including Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, and the members of the X-Men, they quickly became famous around the world.

The mutants, who were originally highly controversial, finally gained some support and praise from humans after this invasion.

The establishment of the mutant nation of Krako was finally no longer opposed by all human nations.

At this time, civilizations on Earth are more united than ever before.

Of course, it's uncertain how long this situation can last.

……

Shortly after the Battle of New York ended.

A figure "awakened" from the core of the sun.

"Sigh, it's still just a little bit short!"

During this time, Peter remained inside the core of the sun, shielding himself from all senses, as if he had fallen into a silent slumber, attempting to take that important step.

Unfortunately, it seemed that just one last step was missing, but it became an insurmountable barrier to his breakthrough.

"I wonder if fusing with the power of the phoenix will allow me to break through this final step."

Peter estimates that if he were to rely solely on absorbing energy from the sun's core, it would likely take him more than a decade for the sun's core to "sleep" in that direction.

The fusion with the power of the phoenix might accelerate his breakthrough to the final stage.

Even if it doesn't allow him to truly break through, it can still give him the power to destroy everything.

In an instant, Peter's figure transformed into a streak of light.

They soon returned to Earth.

"Huh? How did New York City become a ruin?"

However, upon returning to Earth, Peter discovers that New York City is being rebuilt.

"Could it be that the house was burgled while I was away?"

Peter used his super hearing strangely and quickly understood everything.

Alien invasion? Chitauri? Thanos's minions?

In an instant, Peter learned from the Battle of New York that Thanos's henchmen were behind it all.

"This guy, he couldn't resist attacking Earth so soon?"

Peter was puzzled. How could Thanos dare to attack Earth at this time?

It's important to know that, thanks to Peter's intervention, the Ancient One did not die as she was originally destined to.

That is why Peter was able to confidently go to the core of the sun to absorb energy.

After all, with the Ancient One protecting them, they would be safe unless they encountered a cosmic catastrophe that could easily destroy the Earth.

"Mr. Superman, you're finally back."

As Peter appeared in the space station, Reed, who was studying the Phoenix Force and cosmic storms, couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

"While you were away, aliens attacked Earth and destroyed half of New York City..."

After calming down, he told Peter about the Battle of New York that had taken place while he was away.

"I know all of that. The space station wasn't affected, was it?"

Peter interrupted Reed as he was about to continue, and then asked...

"Absolutely not. The space station's shield system has been continuously improved and is capable of withstanding nuclear bombardment. Those alien warships simply cannot break through our defenses!"

Speaking of this, Reed looked both relieved and excited.

Even he hadn't expected that their upgraded shield system would be able to withstand the attack from the alien warship.

Doesn't this mean they already have the technological capability to fight aliens?

"It's good that it wasn't affected."

Peter was not only worried about the enormous damage aliens would cause to Earth, but also feared that the Phoenix Force stored in the space station would be stolen.

"However, you must remember that what hinders human progress is not weakness and ignorance, but arrogance."

"Don't think that aliens are really weak; they just haven't used more powerful weapons yet."

Peter noticed that Reed seemed a bit arrogant and couldn't resist giving him a blow to his pride and arrogance.

Although the alien technology in the Marvel Universe doesn't seem to be as powerful as the Star Wars technology, such as the planet-destroying cannon that can destroy a planet with a single shot.

“Mr. Superman, I understand. Compared to extraterrestrial civilizations, we humans still have a long way to go to catch up.”

Reed was not a stubborn person, especially when it came to Superman.

Moreover, this alien invasion has indeed made all of humanity, including Reed, realize the weakness of Earth and served as a wake-up call for all human civilization.

A single alien warship could easily destroy a human city.

"However, this alien invasion is not entirely a bad thing. At least we can learn a lot of technologies from the alien wreckage that are more advanced than those on Earth."

Having put aside his pride, Reed spoke to Peter with renewed excitement.

"For example, these energy guns from aliens could bring about tremendous progress in human technology..."

He then directly showed Peter the alien technology he was researching.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Superman, I've been researching these things without your permission..."

However, he remembered that Peter had instructed him to obtain Peter's consent before researching any new technology.

Reed couldn't help but look at Peter with a somewhat worried expression.

"Alright, this is the last time. You can study these technologies on your own."

Peter did not blame Reed; he did not value the technology from the Chitauri.

After all, Rocket Raccoon once complained that these guys were the easiest alien army to deal with.

"By the way, have you made any progress in the research on the cosmic storm and that special energy?"

“Mr. Superman, I was just about to report this to you.”

When the topic of cosmic storms came up, Reed's face lit up with excitement and disbelief.

"It's absolutely incredible! After that energy merged with the cosmic storm, it actually had the power to evolve living beings and endow them with certain special abilities!"

"Not only can it enable organisms to develop higher intelligence, but it can even allow them to control mental power, manipulate light to become invisible, and transform their bodies into special materials, among other powerful abilities..."

Reed introduced it with great excitement.

"So, can you now completely separate that mass of energy from the cosmic storm?"

Peter remained calm, as if he had known about these functions all along.
