Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

All four of Maiveld's bodies were crushed by Zhao Chen. Now he lay on the ground like a rag doll, surrounded by a lot of blood.

All the team members who witnessed this scene, except for Hulk, couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Zhao Chen focused all his attention on treating Natasha. (Mountain)

Chapter 695 Healing Natasha

Even when the other members of the Avengers arrived, Zhao Chen didn't even glance at them, continuing to treat Natasha's injuries.

“He’s the Kree Nick Fury mentioned. He attacked Natasha after he arrived, intending to take the Tesseract and Loki’s scepter.” “I don’t know if there are other people behind him yet. I spared his life. Unknown people should be coming soon…” As Zhao Chen finished speaking, Tony immediately realized what was going on.

“Okay, I understand. Thor, take the Kree and Dr. Selvig upstairs to rest. Also, take the Tesseract and the 643 scepter.” Zhao Chen originally intended to ask Tony to hand over Loki’s scepter, because the Mind Stone inside the scepter was related to what would happen later.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Chen decided against it, because S.H.I.E.L.D. would want both the Tesseract and Loki's scepter anyway.

Zhao Chen was thinking of stalling a bit and then giving it to the S.H.I.E.L.D. people; it would be the same. Just then, the system voice in Zhao Chen's mind rang out. "Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and gaining 1340 points."

The system's words brought a slight smile to Zhao Chen's face. He hadn't expected to get over 1000 points in one go.

The option to choose one of the three rewards is no longer relevant to Zhao Chen, because he can have all three rewards without having to choose one.

"At the same time, Zhao Chen has received three rewards and a lottery draw. He can participate in the lottery three times in total. Host, do you want to participate in the lottery now to obtain the three rewards?" "Yes."

"The host's three rewards are: an indestructible body (level 1), a longsword, and an increase in internal strength (level 1)."

These three rewards were all pretty good for Zhao Chen, so he started drawing prizes. Zhao Chen didn't know if he was just unlucky, but the three items he drew were things he didn't really want.

Moreover, it wouldn't be of much use to Zhao Chen; whether he had it or not, it wouldn't make any difference.

But since he's already been given it, he'll definitely keep it. It might come in handy someday; no one can predict what that might happen. "Another reward is the ability to absorb some of the Cosmic Cube's attribute power."

The system's reward mechanism had been forgotten to be mentioned to Zhao Chen earlier. After hearing the system's explanation, Zhao Chen was about to ask, "How do I absorb this power?"

"Because the Cosmic Cube is one of the primordial forces, it will be a bit difficult for you to absorb it. You need to maintain constant contact with the Cosmic Cube." "The time spent in contact with the Cosmic Cube is counted by the system, and the total contact time must be more than three days." Zhao Chen frowned, then asked another question.

"So, what's it like? When I make contact with the Cosmic Cube, is it physical contact between me and the Cosmic Cube, or can I put it into my spatial bracelet?"

"Because the Cosmic Cube is a primordial object, it cannot be stored in your spatial bracelet. Therefore, you can only have physical contact with the Cosmic Cube." "When to make contact with the Cosmic Cube and for how long is entirely up to you, host." Zhao Chen nodded and stopped thinking about it.

As for the cleanup, Zhao Chen left it to the rest of the Avengers team, while he focused all his energy on healing Natasha's wounds...

Natasha's injuries were very serious; her right lower abdomen had been pierced through. Zhao Chen had been treating Natasha's wounds for five or six hours before it ended. "Is Natasha alright, Zhao Chen?"

Now, the only people left in Stark Tower are the Avengers and their members.

Seeing Zhao Chen get up from beside Natasha, Hawkeye asked a question. After all, Hawkeye and Natasha had been partners for a long time, so he was very concerned about Natasha's injuries. "She's fine now. She just needs to rest for a while, but it will leave a small scar, and it won't be easy to remove." "That's enough. Let her lie here and rest well!"

After saying this, Zhao Chen found Natasha's sleeping acupoint, pressed it, and then carried her into the bedroom.

At the top of Stark Tower was a sky villa with complete facilities. Zhao Chen 4.1 glanced at it, selected one of the bedrooms, and let Natasha rest.

Zhao Chen then went to the bathroom to take a shower, because he had just treated Natasha's injuries there and had worked up a sweat.

After taking a shower, Zhao Chen came out to meet the other members of the Avengers.

“Zhao Chen, this matter is much more complicated than we initially imagined. Whether it’s Loki or the captured Kree, they are just pawns.” “Behind them is a very powerful figure in the universe, Thanos.”

Chapter 696 My Worries

As soon as Zhao Chen stepped out, he heard the captain say these words: "You just interrogated Marville, didn't you?"

Zhao Chen looked puzzled. Seeing this, Hawkeye spoke up and cleared up Zhao Chen's confusion.

“What you did to him has terrified him. I just asked him a few questions, and he told me everything.” Zhao Chen nodded. Hawkeye is a master at this. Even if Mar-Vell hadn’t been scared out of his wits, he would have fallen into the hands of their S.H.I.E.L.D. spies without any consequences.

These people can tell whether you're lying just by looking at your micro-expressions.

"Actually, Mar-Vell doesn't know much. He only knows that Thanos is very interested in the Tesseract. I'm actually a little curious about that."

"Thanos at age 23 is incredibly powerful throughout the universe. If he were to bring his army to Earth, we wouldn't be able to stop him at all."

Seeing that Zhao Chen understood, Hawkeye continued.

“You said it yourself, he has a great reputation in the universe, and she should also be considered a big shot. He feels that Earth is not worth his personal attention right now.” “This time, both Loki's and Mar-Vell's operations failed. Maybe next time he will send someone even more powerful or come himself.” Tony’s face showed a worried expression as he said this.

“We don’t need to worry about this for now. Thor’s father, Odin, the Allfather, is still alive in the universe. No one dares to openly wage war against Earth.” Zhao Chen said, waving his hand as he tried to reassure the other members of the Avengers. “Zhao Chen is right. Asgard will protect the nine kingdoms, especially Earth.”

Thor spoke after Zhao Chen finished speaking. Zhao Chen glanced at the people around him and saw that their faces were still full of worry.

After Thor finished speaking, Zhao Chen spoke again.

“Audin told me before that there are very powerful and extraordinary people on Earth, so we don’t need to worry about the threat that war poses to us.”

"I think Nick said something very true: when it comes to safety, we have to be absolutely sure of ourselves. Like Loki this time, he relied entirely on himself." Tony's words were something everyone wanted to say.

“I understand, and I actually agree with that idea, but we need to do three things to make it happen.”

"The Avengers team is currently too small. We must continue to recruit talented individuals to expand our strength." "Of course, the scope of talented individuals is not limited to these few cities, but rather we must recruit them from all over the world."

"Another thing we need is to have a more detached position and break free from the constraints imposed on us by those people," Zhao Chen said, revealing his rather forward-thinking idea.

“I think Zhao Chen’s two points are excellent, and I have no questions about them. We can also discuss the details further.” “By the way, Zhao Chen, didn’t you say we needed to do three things? You’ve only mentioned two. What’s the third thing?” The captain looked at Zhao Chen with a curious expression.

"The last thing is that we need to broaden our perspective and take a long-term view. What we need to do is to set foot in the entire universe."

At this moment, Zhao Chen stretched out his right hand and pointed towards the night sky outside.

Their battle ended with Natasha being seriously injured, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has been making strong demands on them ever since.

They demanded that they hand over the Mind Scepter. Under strong pressure from the other side, Zhao Chen and the other 650 people finally handed over the Mind Scepter.

Hydra was exposed prematurely because of Zhao Chen's arrival, but now that Pierce is still under immense pressure, the Mind Scepter will eventually fall into their hands.

If Zhao Chen had the Mind Scepter, he certainly wouldn't have let them take it away, but he also didn't want the Scarlet Witch and other heroes to cease to exist because of him.

Just as Zhao Chen had expected, all the exposed Hydra agents were under S.H.I.E.L.D. surveillance, slowly and mysteriously dying, or disappearing without a trace.

The thread had just begun to emerge, and before they could even pull it, all the clues vanished.

Nick Fury was furious when he learned that these Hydra agents had disappeared or died, and he threw tantrums at S.H.I.E.L.D. every day.

This also led to a purge within S.H.I.E.L.D., and this "big surprise" event was the largest in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s history.

Chapter 697 Imprisoning Marwell

However, Zhao Chen felt that such a large-scale purge was unnecessary, because those who could be cleaned out at this time would definitely not be big fish, but only small fish and shrimp.

Zhao Chen knew it was pointless. He also knew that Nick Fury wasn't stupid to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But there was no way to find out; Hydra had infiltrated too deeply into S.H.I.E.L.D. If it weren't for this incident, they wouldn't have been able to discover them at all.

Nick Fury can only launch a major purge to stabilize the morale of these people in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Zhao Chen's current priority is to absorb some of the Tesseract's energy, but Thor is extremely anxious to bring Loki back to Asgard.

Furthermore, the Rainbow Bridge now needs to be repaired using the Cosmic Cube, and Zhao Chen also needs to help Natasha heal her injuries every day.

Although Zhao Chen spent a long time treating Natasha's injuries that day, it didn't completely heal her, and the treatment still needed to continue.

Because of these circumstances, Zhao Chen had no choice but to let Thor take Loki back to Asgard. Of course, the Tesseract also went back with Thor.

Before Thor went back, Zhao Chen met with him and gave him some instructions.

"After you finish repairing the Rainbow Bridge, you must return to Earth immediately. Also, remember to bring the Tesseract. If you don't bring it, I'll go to Asgard with you." "Okay, okay."

Thor was in a hurry to get back, so he was somewhat perfunctory in his response to Zhao Chen's words.

Zhao Chen is currently too busy to travel. If he had any free time, he would go back to Asgard with Thor.

Zhao Chen cannot leave Natasha's side now. He must go to treat Natasha's injuries every day, and Zhao Chen also needs to convene an internal meeting of the Avengers.

He wants to change the Avengers' role, and there will be a Sokelvia Accords that will cause the Avengers to split up.

Zhao Chen still has some things to do to prevent the split, but before doing those things, there is one more thing he needs to do.

Inside the Avengers' base, there's a room completely covered in thick gold-titanium alloy panels, all installed by Tuoni.

It also has a large arc reactor attached to it, which Tony also attached, and it was specially built by Tony as the base.

Their walls now generate a 100,000-volt electric current surge whenever the pressure exceeds five kilograms. Zhao Chen named this room the Pikachu Room.

Tony only spent one night renovating this apartment. This room was prepared for Mar-Vell to imprison him.

Marwell is now in a state of near-death.

Hawkeye got Mar-Vell to tell him everything in just an hour or two. Mar-Vell was in such a pitiful state that Hawkeye couldn't bear to look at him anymore. "Why keep him alive? Why not just give him a quick death and kill him?" "No, I'm going to keep him alive and wait for Zhao Chen to deal with him."

Tony was very insistent, and Hawkeye couldn't change Tony's mind, so he didn't say anything more and let Tony lock the man in the room.

After Zhao Chen finished treating Natasha's injuries and everything was fine, he went to the room where Marville was being held. As soon as Zhao Chen entered, Marville started shouting and screaming, extremely agitated. "You're a devil! I beg you, just give me a quick death!"

Mar-Vell's voice was incredibly hoarse. He had been locked up here for three days, and during those three days, Tony and Hawkeye had completely forgotten about him.

Of course they knew that Marville was in their base, but they selectively forgot about him.

Captain America and Banner assumed Hawkeye had everything arranged, so they didn't bother with anything, which resulted in Mar-Vell not drinking a drop of water for three days straight in his room.

Before Mar-Vell was locked up, Hawkeye kindly treated his wounds. If he hadn't, Mar-Vell would probably be stinking in the room right now.

Marwell was currently paralyzed in bed, and of his four limbs, only his left leg (Wang Li's) remained. Zhao Chen glanced at him and then spoke calmly.

"...I think you look better now. I found your small aircraft, and I'm actually a little curious about it."
