Although everyone wants to find out who destroyed Xandar, they also want to rebuild a new supreme government.

But neither of them would submit to the other.

After all, it was a united empire composed of hundreds of civilizations, and everyone wanted to protect themselves while seizing the greatest benefits in this chaotic situation.

The better ones only engage in verbal disputes, while the more short-tempered ones go straight into a fight.

While the Nova Empire was in chaos, the surrounding hostile civilizations, especially the Kree who had been at war with the Nova Empire for over a thousand years, would certainly not let go of this golden opportunity.

Almost immediately upon learning of Xandar's destruction, the Kree dispatched all fleets from the war zones adjacent to the Nova Empire to launch a full-scale attack on the Nova Empire, and continued to mobilize troops from other war zones in an attempt to annihilate the entire Nova Empire in one fell swoop.

Leading the charge was the accuser, Ronan.

Faced with the menacing Kree army, the Nova Empire, already in internal chaos, made a different choice.

Some chose to resist to the end, some chose to make peace or even surrender directly, and some chose to join forces with Monarch Star or other small and medium-sized forces in the surrounding area.

However, given the vast territory of the Nova Empire, the Kree couldn't possibly deploy all of their forces there, as they also had to contend with other hostile civilizations like the Skrulls.

Therefore, this chaos is bound to last for a long time.

It could take years or even decades.

As the instigator of all this, and the target of investigation and pursuit by the cosmic forces, Josie, after leaving the Nova Empire, first returned the vampires who had cooperated with him to Dracula before returning to Reach.

After confirming that the entire operation, his identity, and the information about the faster-than-light engine had not been leaked, they continued to carry out infrastructure construction on Reach.

As for Loki, after consulting with Josie, he temporarily returned to Asgard to be his second prince.

Although he was initially somewhat bothered by everything about Xandar, he has come to a clearer understanding of it in a short period of time.

Now that he's on Josh's pirate ship, it's impossible for him to get off halfway. For now, he can only take it one step at a time.

During this time, Wenlesa also recovered her health. After learning what Josie had done during this period, she was not afraid at all, but was deeply moved.

Although Josie said her main purpose was to prevent the leakage of faster-than-light engine technology, she believed it was due to her own incompetence. Instead of blaming her, Josie took matters into her own hands and avenged her.

Where can you find such a great boss?

It was only because Margot was there that this lovestruck elf girl would have offered herself up as a bedmate.

As for Vera's self-deception, Josie naturally wouldn't offer much explanation. Instead, once everything was on track on Reach, she prepared to return to Earth.

I originally planned to travel for half a year, but now almost a year has passed, and it's time to go back.

Of course, before leaving, they had to say goodbye to Marwell, the friend who brought them along.

"I'm so sorry, due to the unexpected situation in Xandar, my conscription period has been extended indefinitely, so I can't see you off!" Marville, dressed in military uniform, apologized to Josie and the other two on the other end of the communicator.

As the Kree Empire launched a major offensive against the Nova Empire, Mar-Vell, who was already investigating the previous fleet attack in a nearby star system, was naturally summoned back to service.

She naturally felt extremely apologetic towards Josh and the others.

After all, it was she who suggested taking Josie and the others away from Earth to play in space.

As a result, not only did they fail to reach Star Hara, the capital of the Kree Empire, they also had to "abandon" Josie and her companions on a completely unfamiliar planet halfway there.

If it weren't for Josie and her friends' "good luck" in running into Dracula, an acquaintance, on Contrasia, they might not have stayed there for much longer. Before leaving Contrasia, Josie and her friends had already contacted Marville and told her that they had met Dracula and been treated well, which also helped them cover up their whereabouts.

So Marwell had no idea that the culprit behind her two forced conscriptions and the current chaotic situation in the universe was Josie on the other end of the communicator.

"Don't feel sorry, Marwell. After all, no one expected these things to happen!" Josie said, feigning concern, without any of the coldness she had shown in Xandar.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two sides quickly hung up the call.

The Kree Empire's offensive is in full swing, and Marville is naturally very busy.

After hanging up the communication, Josie also got up and looked at the blue planet outside the spaceship window.

Earth, he's back.

Chapter 289 Peggy Carter: A Complete Transformation

The spaceship slowly descended towards Silvermoon City.

The Josie couple, Carter, and others stood on the bridge, admiring the beautiful scenery of Earth.

But at that moment, a point of light suddenly burst forth in the Pacific Ocean.

"What is that?" Margot frowned. How could there be such a bright light source on Earth?

“Oh, that’s the Marshall Islands. The military is conducting another nuclear test!” Peggy Carter said nonchalantly after seeing the direction of the burst of light.

The Marshall Islands, an island nation in the Pacific, were almost entirely used by the United States for nuclear testing between 1946 and 1958, so it is not surprising that such a large explosion occurred there at that time.

Upon hearing Carter's explanation, Margot suddenly understood.

At this moment, the spaceship landed in Silvermoon City.

However, they did not stay in Silvermoon City for long and soon returned to Earth by shuttle.

Unlike the carefree Josie, Margot is desperate for a child.

I just got back to Chicago and immediately went to see some kids.

Peggy Carter is also preparing to leave. He's been gone for a year now, and the IMF team is probably in an uproar.

However, before leaving, she planned to have an open and honest talk with Josie.

So Josie went into the study with her.

“Josie, after I finish dealing with all the backlog of work, I plan to resign from my position as head of IFM!” Carter said as soon as he entered the study.

"Huh? Why?" Josie was somewhat surprised when she heard Carter's decision.

"What I saw on this trip to space was truly astonishing. I've thought about it for a long time, and I've finally come to the conclusion that Earth's current rate of development is too slow. Faced with those extraterrestrial civilizations, Earth's nations are practically powerless to resist!" Peggy Carter said.

"So what are you trying to say? That I should share the technology I possess to strengthen Earth's response capabilities?" Josie asked with a half-smile. Was this woman planning to officially confront him?

“No, of course not. Although I don’t know how much effort you put into those things, they all belong to you, and you have no obligation to help other countries!” Peggy Carter denied.

“…Then what do you think we should do?” Carter’s words surprised Josie slightly.

“Lead them! Josie, the Earth needs a strong enough leader, and after all this time, I think only you can do it, don’t you?” Carter said.

“…Peggy, do you know what you’re saying?” Josie raised an eyebrow. “You’re acting like one of those fanatics from World War II who were obsessed with mustaches and the Red Skull.”

“No, it’s different. Whether it’s you or me, we’re different from them. Their vision is limited to their own nation and country, to this tiny Earth. But we are people who have witnessed countless powerful civilizations in the universe! Think about those powerful civilizations in the universe. Do they really have freedom and democracy? Without a strong leader or protector, everything would just be a mess!” Carter became more and more agitated as he spoke.

Clearly, this experience of traveling through space was a huge shock to her, so much so that it completely overturned her previous worldview.

"...Do you even know what your choice will bring to Earth? Slaughter and war!" At this moment, Josie suddenly felt a little amused. How come her and Carter's roles seemed to have been reversed?

“Of course I understand, but these are things that can never be avoided if a civilization wants to become strong, right? It’s better to die on the path of human civilization’s progress than to be enslaved by aliens in the future. As long as humanity can stand on its own in the universe, these sacrifices are necessary,” Carter said firmly.

"You know what? Peggy, you seem a little different to me now." After staring at Carter's serious expression for a long time, Josie couldn't help but sigh.

“Maybe!” Carter shrugged. “I know you might find it hard to accept this suddenly, but I’m serious!”

"Even if Rogers is sacrificed because of this?" Josie suddenly said. "What if I told you there's a high probability he didn't die?"

“Rogers…” Carter paused slightly upon hearing the name, looked at Josie’s expression, and then nodded. “That’s right, even if it means sacrificing Rogers! I did love him, and I did think he was the future of humanity… but the truth is, a mere super soldier can’t do anything in the face of the vast universe, can he?”

She is now a super soldier, and with Josie's help, she is the strongest officially known super soldier since Rogers.

So on this point, no one really has more authority to speak than her.

"And what about yourself? What are you willing to give up for this?" Josie asked again.

“Everything!” Carter answered firmly.

Silence fell over the study instantly, and the two men stared at each other quietly.

Two hours later, Carter left Kahn Manor feeling refreshed.

“I hope you really can do it!” Josie said leisurely, taking a puff of her cigar as she stood by the window and watched Peggy Carter drive away.

Although he didn't like smoking, he knew he needed a puff at that moment.

Since coming into this world, he has actually changed the fate of many people.

But Peggy Carter is the first person to be changed so completely, from head to toe, both physically and mentally.

This feeling is quite interesting.

However, in previous conversations, Josie did not agree to Carter's idea of ​​resigning as IFM director to work directly for him.

Since she is willing to serve him completely, then let her simply become his tool for controlling the IMF, so that he will have another intelligence agency at his disposal.

At the same time, it is also one of the ways she proves herself.

Josie wouldn't completely believe this woman's words just because of their conversation in the study!

Josie wouldn't simply reveal everything about Ouroboros and the Hydra Council to them. If she did, who knows what Carter would do if he knew he'd been deceived all along.

After Carter left, Josie didn't have much time to relax. After discussing it with Margot, the whole family boarded a plane and headed to Europe.

Because in the nearly one year since Josie left, Austria had basically completed all the integrations and was ready to change the era name and establish the United Kingdom of Austria.

His daughter, Karol Kahn, will become the first Queen of the United Kingdom of Austria.

Josie used to take this matter very seriously.

However, as his power has grown significantly over the years, he no longer cares much about the attitude of the United States.

The world's third pole may appear ahead of schedule.
