Chapter 324 The Skrulls

"So, your dad also calls you Big Dog!"

Upon hearing this, the chubby boy's round face immediately turned a deep purplish-red.

However, because of this joke, the subtle distance between him and Erin caused by their different social statuses vanished in an instant.

The chubby boy, seemingly having rediscovered his way of interacting with Erin, said listlessly:

"Just laugh if you want to, Doug. 'Dog,' isn't that how a dog is called? When I was little, I was sickly, and my dad thought that a humble name would make me easier to raise, so he gave me this name. Later, I got used to it and simply didn't change it. But strangely enough, after I got this name, my health did improve a lot."

Finally, the chubby boy gave a strange look and asked Erin curiously, "Erin, now that magic and evil gods have appeared, did my father really change my fate by giving me this name?"

As he spoke, the chubby Doug glanced deliberately at Erin's right hand, which had just received a basic Holy Light healing.

Erin shook his head at the little fat boy's words.

"A name is a person's identifier. In mysticism, it has many special meanings. From some perspectives, the quality of a name can indeed be one of the factors that can influence destiny. However, although there is a certain connection between a name and destiny, it is not the decisive factor influencing destiny. Therefore, the reason why your health gradually improved later should be thanks to your parents, not the name 'Big Dog'."

After listening.

Little Fatty Doug immediately wore a look of shattered dreams.

"Of course I know that I should thank my parents for making me this big, but seeing them being so sweet together every day makes me wonder if I was just an accident in their love story."

As he spoke, the chubby boy gestured towards his parents, who were supporting each other as they ran towards the medical station not far away.

Ok.

Following the chubby boy's gaze, Erin glanced at the big dog's parents, then at the chubby boy Doug who had been left there, and stroked his chin:

"Actually, I feel you can get rid of that doubt."

"Damn, you might as well not have said that."

Upon hearing Erin's words, the chubby boy's face immediately fell.

However, he has always had a good attitude.

The chubby boy quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Hmph, I've decided. Once I make some money, I'll move out immediately and rent a place so I don't have to eat their dog food all the time."

Despite his words, the chubby boy still asked with some concern as he looked at his parents supporting each other, "Eileen, can that miracle potion from your company really heal my mom's hand wound? Will it have any side effects? Or could you use that healing spell on her too? I'm sure that healing spell is much more reliable than any miracle potion."

A flash of white light from Erinna's healing magic quickly healed the wounds on her father's back and swiftly brought Wang Quanfu, who had fallen into a coma, back to consciousness.

To the big dog, this magical method seemed far more reliable than that green miracle potion.

"I'm sorry, you've got it backwards. While Holy Light Healing can heal injuries in a very short time, it actually depletes the body's nutrients. On the other hand, the Miracle Potion contains many trace elements, which can quickly replenish the body's resources while repairing it. If your dad's condition hadn't been so dangerous and couldn't be delayed any longer, I would have put him in the biological treatment chamber."

At this point, Erin shrugged. "Besides, what healed your dad just now was the last of my holy light energy. Now, even if you want me to heal your mom's arm wound, I can't do it."

After Erin finished speaking, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on the big dog's face. Clearly, Erin's description of healing magic had shattered his illusions about magic.

"Oh, is that so? Then my dad..."

Before the chubby boy could finish speaking, Erin, who had already anticipated what he was going to say, interrupted him, saying, "Holy Light Healing only consumes the nutrients stored in the body. You can replenish them by eating more good food later. Isn't your dad a master chef? Just have him cook some nutritious food to replenish them."

Seeing the chubby boy's look of sudden realization, Erin added, "Alright, if you're worried about your parents, go and keep them company. What are you doing standing here with me?"

As he spoke, Erin patted the chubby boy's thick back hard and pushed him toward the treatment point not far away.

After being pushed by Erin.

The chubby boy took a few steps forward and then gave an embarrassed smile.

"My dad asked me to thank you? I just don't know how to bring it up."

Erin rolled her eyes at his words: "Come on, if you really want to thank me, you might as well ask me to treat you to a big meal."

The little fat boy's eyes lit up immediately when he heard about food.

"Hehe, no problem. Not just one meal, even a hundred big meals wouldn't be a problem."

"Then it'll be a hundred big meals. Don't complain about being broke then."

"Don't worry, I'll just ask my mom to reimburse me."

After chuckling, the big dog started running forward.

But after running a few steps, he turned back to Erin and said solemnly, "It may be a bit sentimental, but I still want to say thank you, Erin."

Upon hearing this, Erin waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, stop with the mushy stuff, let's go."

After Erin finished speaking.

The chubby boy quickly rushed towards his parents.

Looking at the chubby boy's nimble legs, Kiris, standing next to Erin, said, "Boss, your friend's physical condition is pretty good. He carried a three or four hundred-pound person for such a long distance and recovered after just a short rest."

Erin smiled upon hearing this.

Just like Doug himself said, his body was muscular, not fat.

In terms of strength, the little fat boy is quite big.

However, although the chubby boy was very strong, his endurance was never very good.

It seems that eating those mushroom spores last time actually brought me good fortune, as my stamina improved considerably.

Do those mushroom spores have the effect of enhancing endurance?

Erin shook his head slightly, putting that somewhat unrealistic idea out of his mind, and then went with Kiris.

He turned and walked towards his home.

···········

Chinatown is neither too big nor too small.

Not long after.

Erin and his friends arrived at their front door.

We've arrived here.

Erin then realized that the buildings within a 300-meter radius of his home seemed to be much more intact compared to other areas of Chinatown.

Among these buildings, the intact Erin family house stands out.

After glancing around, Erin quickly discovered the reason for this phenomenon.

Although the buildings within a 300-meter radius of his home were relatively intact, there were many Chitauri corpses piled up around them.

Scattered around the corpses of these Chitauri were a few small hummingbird drones.

obviously.

The Chitauri who attacked were all killed by Arryn's small hummingbird drones.

That's why.

The buildings surrounding the Ellin family home are relatively well-preserved compared to other areas of Chinatown.

After glancing at the distribution ratio of the hummingbird drones and Chitauri corpses on the ground and getting a rough idea of ​​the data, Erin nodded in satisfaction.

It seems those hummingbird drones are quite capable in combat.

Their casualty ratio was even lower than that of the Chitauri.

Gillies, who was standing next to Erin, also noticed this scene and her eyes lit up. She was equally impressed by these small hummingbird drones.

"The destructive power of these little things is so formidable. If we could carry some of these drones with us on missions in the future, wouldn't that be...?"

Just as Kiris was thinking.

Sensing Erin's arrival, the little monsters immediately opened the gate and welcomed Erin and Kiris inside.

After closing the door behind him, Erin patted the little monster's big head and said something.

"Well done."

The little monster, having received praise from Erin, immediately began to wriggle happily.

That sight made Kiris laugh.

Noticing the radiant smile on Kiris's face, Erin couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Compared to the cold, icy Winter Warrior she once was, Kiris now seemed like a completely different person.

The [Witch] potion, besides changing a person's physical gender, seems to also affect their mental will, causing it to be distorted to some extent.

This power is truly bizarre!

Just then.

A ringing notification sound suddenly came from Kiris's pocket.

Keelise casually took out her phone, opened the email that had just been sent to her inbox, and her expression immediately changed.

Noticing Kiris's expression, Erin casually asked, "What's wrong?"

"Not long ago, someone forcibly abducted Nick Fury from the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison. According to information sent back by our people, the person who took Nick Fury away was the same woman who appeared on the battlefield not long ago."

The woman on the battlefield, Captain Marvel?

Looking at the blurry photo attached to the email that Kiris handed over.

Erin quickly confirmed his guess.

"By forcibly taking Nick Fury out of prison, it seems our Captain Marvel has become so used to running rampant with her own power that she has long forgotten the laws of Earth. However, by forcibly breaking him out of prison, she has actually confirmed Nick Fury's crimes. In this way, Nick Fury has essentially cut himself off from the World Security Council."

Captain Marvel's actions have effectively alienated Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now, it's practically impossible for Nick Fury to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. even if he wanted to.

Thinking of this, Erin asked Gillies, "By the way, I remember that after S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier was destroyed by the Abomination, Duke should have survived. How is he now?"

"Duke was quite lucky. Because of Odin's shot from afar, he managed to escape from the abomination. Apart from falling into the river and swallowing some water, he was mostly unharmed. In fact, he was commended by the World Security Council for it."

Hearing this, Erin nodded and said, "In that case, let's give him a push and help him secure his position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Upon hearing this, Gillies asked, "Should I have the other Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. form groups to openly support Duke? Given their achievements in the Battle of New York, it wouldn't be surprising if our people supported him."

"No need. We always need to keep some trump cards up our sleeves. Besides, having someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. working in cahoots with Duke will make his position more secure. It's better to have our own people than to let someone else do it. On the other hand, we can put in more effort with the World Security Council to make sure Duke firmly holds the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

At this point, Erin said to Kiris, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll take care of it. You should go to the group we just recruited, pick out some promising talents, and then take them to the newly established Miracle Security Company for training. As for the others who don't seem worthwhile, just disperse them. Otherwise, with so many armed forces suddenly appearing, even if our Miracle Group has a good relationship with the military and the government, they will still be wary."

For this battle in New York, Erin and his men temporarily recruited members from all sorts of gangs in New York, big and small, to serve as conscripts.

With tens of thousands of armed personnel, this force was one that even the federal government could not ignore.

In fact.

While Erin was at Miracle Building, several high-ranking officials from the New York Police Department and the Federal Military, who had been influenced by Erin's hypnosis and were full of goodwill towards him, called to ask Erin's Miracle Company to tone it down.

even.

If it weren't for the Miracle Corps security personnel under Erin's command, who actively resisted the Chitauri invasion during the Battle of New York and indirectly saved Hell's Kitchen...

Perhaps some people are already considering Miracle Group as a destabilizing factor.

"I understand. Even if you hadn't said it, I was actually planning to do it anyway."

Despite the large number of armed personnel under Miracle Group, Kiris doesn't care about the rest of the recruits temporarily pulled from gangs, except for a few elites.

After discussing some other things with Erin, they quickly left Chinatown.

································

at the same time.

Inside a spaceship located in the moon's shadow.

Nick Fury, who had just been brought out of prison by Captain Marvel, looked at the woman who had rescued him with a helpless expression.

Beside Nick Fury, a green-skinned Skrull was carefully treating Nick Fury's wounds.
