American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Well, it can't be said that it's completely worthless. The structural composition of those metal fragments still has some research value. Although countries around the world now share vibranium, its reserves are ultimately limited and it is destined not to be widely available. Therefore, the research on conventional metals is still very valuable.

However, unlike the military investigators who limited their attention to the scene of the incident and the surrounding small area, Carter, in conjunction with the FBI and local police, expanded the scope of the investigation to the surrounding cities and towns.

And so, the strangely dressed Marwell quickly came into view...

Then the scene that just happened occurred.

As for why Marville, as a soldier of the Kree Empire's interstellar force, was so unguarded and failed to realize that she was being tracked, it's actually quite simple. It wasn't that she wasn't vigilant, but rather that from the moment she entered the city, she was the center of attention on the streets, so whether she was vigilant or not made no difference.

Moreover, Marwell did not believe that the relatively backward civilizations on this planet posed a threat to her.

Until Peggy Carter came along.

“Marvel!” Marvel didn’t hide her name, since she hadn’t betrayed Kree yet, so there was no need for her to hide it.

As he spoke, he extended his hand and shook hands with Carter, unconsciously applying a little force.

"It sounds a bit like a boy's name!" Carter said with a smile, feeling the force coming from the other person's hand, and began to exert force as well.

Who says that only men can do hand-to-hand combat?

Strong-willed women like Carter and Marwell would do the same thing.

After some probing, the two quickly discovered that the other's strength was no less than their own—the Kree were physically stronger than humans, and compared to rare super soldiers like Carter, the Kree Empire had begun to widely distribute gene enhancement drugs many years ago. Although the overall effect might not be as good as super soldier drugs, elite Kree spacefaring warriors like Mar-Vell were not far behind.

Otherwise, the Kree Empire would not have been able to dominate a region in the cruel universe.

“It was originally a boy’s name. My father always wanted a boy,” Mar-Vell said with a shrug. The Kree are warlike, and like most creatures, Kree men are generally stronger than women.

Therefore, the preference for sons over daughters still exists in ancient interstellar civilizations like the Kree Empire.

“Hmm, I understand. I’ve been in that situation before. This isn’t the place to talk. Would you like to come for a drink with me?” Carter invited.

"It would be an honor!" As a future "Kree traitor," Mar-Vell was originally a curious and cheerful person, unlike the cold, silent, and ruthless killers of the average Kree warrior.

If it were a regular Kree warrior, the city streets would probably be awash in blood by now.

And Mar-Vell naturally didn't refuse a female warrior like Carter, whom she admired.

"Cheers!" A dozen minutes later, the two appeared in a local bar, raised their large glasses of tequila, clinked them together, and then began to drink heavily.

New Mexico may not have many other things, but it has an exceptionally large number of bars.

However, the bar had obviously been cleared out of all non-essential personnel by the CIA before Carter and Marwell arrived, so there were only the two of them inside besides the bartender.

However, the bartender was already terrified by the two fierce women.

Because tequila is a high-proof spirit with an alcohol content of over 40%, most people drink it in a small shot glass, accompanied by salt and lemon.

But the two women in front of them started using beer glasses and drank the tequila like beer.

At first, the bartender was genuinely worried that the two women would die of alcohol poisoning in his bar.

But he soon discovered that things had gone beyond his expectations.

These two women had already downed several bottles of tequila, and they showed no signs of alcohol poisoning whatsoever, not even a hint of drunkenness. They weren't even flushed or out of breath, as if they'd been drinking water instead of spirits. The bartender even picked up their empty bottles and tasted the remaining liquid—it was definitely alcohol…

Damn it, are these two women even human?

The bartender's gaze toward Carter and his companion became somewhat strange.

What he didn't know was that, to some extent, the two of them had indeed transcended the realm of "human beings."

Both the Super Soldier Serum and the enhancement serums used by Kree elite warriors from childhood can increase the body's metabolism.

Therefore, they are very difficult to get drunk.

Dr. Erskine once discussed this with Captain America.

However, Carter and Marwell didn't care about the bartender's gaze. Although they had just met and were not even the same species, after their initial conversation, they found that they had a lot in common to talk about.

This is pretty much what they mean by "love at first sight".

"Marvel, you're not from Earth, are you?" After a few rounds of drinks, Carter, while fiddling with a star coin, steered the conversation to the main topic, "Is this star coin the currency of your planet?"

This is the star coin I got back from the fruit stand owner.

Unlike the fruit stand owner, Carter, as a professional, immediately sensed the unusual nature of this "coin" upon handling it.

It was incredibly lightweight, yet incredibly strong—perhaps not as strong as vibranium, but stronger than any other metal she had ever seen on Earth.

“No, this isn’t our official currency. The Kree Empire stopped using this primitive currency a long time ago; they use official credit points instead. This is the universal currency of the galaxy. We only bring some with us when we go on field missions as a backup, so it can be used in some less advanced civilizations. However, because our logistical reserves are always sufficient, we don’t use it often. If you like, I can give you some more!” Marville casually revealed some information about the universe.

To reiterate, Marwell doesn't care that the people of this planet know his identity, nor does he believe that anyone in this world can pose a threat to him, not even the formidable woman in front of him.

After all, combat is never just about physical strength; often, equipment is the most important factor.

Marville was very confident in the technology of the Kree Empire.

"Oh, that sounds very interesting. Can you tell me about the universe?" Carter was shocked inside by Marwell's words, but he asked calmly on the surface.

“Hehe, baby, I know you must be from the official agency of this planet, but take my advice. For a planet like yours that isn’t even a Type I civilization, knowing too much about the universe isn’t a good thing. In fact, you don’t need to worry too much. Your planet is located in the most remote region of our empire’s territory. It’s not easy for other civilizations to reach this place. Moreover, in our official records, this is just a barbaric planet. For your sake, I won’t report your development status!” Marville said affectionately, putting his arm around Carter’s shoulder.

After some conversation, she found that the woman in front of her was very much to her liking, and for her sake, Marwell didn't mind keeping the situation on Earth a secret.

In any case, for the Empire, Earth, a planet that is not even a Type I civilization and is extremely scarce in resources, is really not very useful.

"Your empire is very powerful?" Carter asked.

"Of course, we are the most powerful in the entire galaxy. At least a third of the galaxy is under the control of our Kree Empire!" Mar-Vell said with great pride.

A third of the Milky Way? Carter's expression remained unchanged in the face of Marwell's answer, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Although she has always been a very opinionated person, the current situation has the potential to affect the future of Earth's civilization, which is completely beyond her comprehension.

This matter must be reported to Josh!

The first image that appeared in Carter's mind was Josie's face.

Chapter 175 The Dragon Emperor's Resurrection

"So it was her!" Josie was browsing through the information Peggy Carter had sent over when she saw the name Mar-Will and immediately understood.

The first Captain Marvel in the comics, and the mentor of Captain Marvel Carol Danvers in the movies.

However, looking at the details of Carter's communication with the other party in the intelligence report, Josie immediately knew that the other party should not have any entanglement with the Skrulls yet, and was far from betraying the Starforce.

After all, the other party protected that group of Skrull refugees to come to Earth and became the instigator of Project Pegasus in hiding on Earth. That was in the 1980s, which is at least 30 or 40 years ago.

Judging from their situation, they have no idea how complex the situation on Earth is.

"Boss, you don't even know aliens, do you?" Ophelia, who was delivering documents, asked with a strange expression as she looked at Josie's expression.

As for her boss, all she could say was that he had too many secrets. And judging from Josie's expression, he seemed completely unsurprised by the appearance of such an alien, or even the powerful civilization that might exist behind him.

"What's so strange about aliens? Sooner or later, we'll even see gods!" Josie said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing Josie's words, Ophelia's eyes widened in disbelief. A god? Could it be...?

"Don't make that face. The thing Hydra worships doesn't deserve to be called a god—you might not believe it, but the thing Hydra worships is actually just a biotechnology product created by the Kree Empire, to which Mar-Vell belongs, well, a failed one!" Seeing the somewhat distorted expression on Ophelia's face, Josie didn't mind provoking her a little more.

Upon hearing Josie's words, Ophelia was completely distraught.

Although Ophelia was not very loyal to the former Hydra, and also had doubts about the god that Hydra worshipped.

However, hearing Josie say that the god worshipped by Hydra was nothing more than a biological weapon created by the Kree still greatly shocked her.

Seeing that Josie's expression didn't seem fake, Ophelia immediately believed it to be true.

After all, Josh hadn't lied to her since she became his subordinate, and in this matter, Josh had no reason to lie to her.

I wonder how those old men on the council will feel when they hear this news... Well, they probably won't believe it.

"So, what should we do with this Mar-Vell?" Ophelia couldn't help but ask.

"Handle? No need to handle! It seems the other party really likes Carter, so let Carter entertain her properly. This can be considered a political task, and all expenses will be handled through the official accounts." Josie wrote out an approval slip and handed it to Ophelia.

Hmm... I don't know why, but looking at the photos of Carter and Mar-Vell in the intelligence report, I always feel there's a hint of lesbian romance.

Hmm... Could it be that Captain America's rival is you? Mar-Vell?

“…Boss, you’re so good to Carter…!” Ophelia said with a hint of jealousy upon hearing Josie’s order.

Sending Carter to entertain that alien is no different from a paid vacation.

And what about her? She has to manage the affairs of several organizations all by herself, working herself to the bone. I'm so envious and jealous!

“…Hehe, how about I let you switch with Carter?” Josie said with a fake smile.

"Uh...no need, I love my job, 007 is my blessing!" Ophelia said immediately, her spirits soaring.

"Alright, go ahead and help me!" Josie rolled her eyes, then slapped the other person and said irritably.

Ophelia chuckled as she left Josie's office.

The so-called complaints were just a joke. Josie entrusted a lot of affairs of several organizations to her precisely because she trusted her. If it were Carter—Carter would be happy, but Josie wouldn't be.

Ophelia was very clear about this.

Besides, she had already used the safe and side-effect-free new super soldier drug developed by Josie's "secret research institute," so she didn't have to risk her life like Carter did to gamble on that little chance of success.

Therefore, a little extra workload won't have a significant impact on her at all.

After Ophelia left, Josie also prepared to go home.

Even though it's only 3 p.m., the big boss skipped work, and who dares to say anything against it?
