Superman Marvel Adventures

Getting back to the main point, after the four speedsters accomplished their mission of saving three million people, Jai Garrick, Jessie Quick, and Wally West simply vanished. Quicksilver, meanwhile, had his ability to use the Speed ​​Force revoked by the Speed ​​Force, reverting to his mutant form. Because the Speed ​​Force feared causing further disruption to the world, the speedsters' disappearances were instantaneous; thus, these three were taken away by the Speed ​​Force before they even had a chance to say goodbye.

"Where are the other three?" Athena asked, puzzled, seeing that only Quicksilver had emerged from the portal, and that he looked almost exhausted.

"I was taken away by the Speed ​​Force as soon as I finished the mission, and so was the power within me."

Quicksilver slumped unceremoniously in a chair. The loss of the Speed ​​Force made him feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he knew that the Speed ​​Force was not his own power, so he did not force it. However, without the protection of the Speed ​​Force, some of the negative effects of his previous exercise began to affect his body.

Athena quickly checked the number of nanobots and found that apart from some around Red Skull and some uninfested nanobots in the Mandarin's camp, there was no data. She was overjoyed and immediately contacted Skynet, instructing them to take immediate action as well.

Skynet and the superheroes communicate via special channels. After receiving the message that Athena could move, the lifelike robot in the image of Dr. Zola, which was controlled by Skynet, suddenly exploded, instantly generating a powerful electromagnetic pulse wave that almost instantly sent Red Skull flying. Of course, all the nanobots that Red Skull was with were also instantly destroyed.

Chapter 452 The Red Skull Has Been Arrested

Inside the villa where Red Skull was, Red Skull was waiting to savor the taste of victory, but unexpectedly Dr. Zola suddenly attacked, emitting a ghostly blue light. Then, with a loud bang, Red Skull, who was caught off guard, was blasted away.

"Damn it, what are you trying to do?" Red Skull yelled at Dr. Zola, his face grim, as he looked at the appliances billowing black smoke around him and smelled the burning odor coming from his pocket.

Unfortunately, Dr. Zola, who was himself a robot, was destroyed in the EMP bomb explosion at that moment, and had no chance to speak to him. Of course, Red Skull was too angry and shocked to ask the question without thinking. By the time he came to his senses, he already knew that Dr. Zola was not there.

Red Skull is unaware that Dr. Zola was killed by Athena, and therefore subconsciously suspects that Dr. Zola betrayed him and wanted to kill him to become the new leader of Hydra.

"Hmph, Dr. Zola, you're too naive. That person is almost here, and the entire Earth will still be mine. But it's time to leave now. If that guy really betrays me and doesn't kill the Avengers, then things will be terrible." Red Skull stood in the messy hall, muttering to himself.

Because all his electronic devices were destroyed, Red Skull couldn't contact anyone else, and he wasn't sure if Dr. Zola had betrayed him alone, or if everyone had. He could only leave the villa quietly by himself. Fortunately, to avoid attracting attention, there were very few Hydra agents in the villa, and no one else was in the hall.

Red Skull wanted to leave the villa quietly, but the Avengers wouldn't allow it. With the help of Skynet, the superpowered individuals were gathered in several locations and then a surprise attack was launched. In less than five minutes, all the superpowered individuals that Red Skull had brought there were eliminated by the Skynet-controlled mechs and the core members of the Avengers.

When some members of the Avengers saw the weapons in the hands of the robotic soldiers, they gasped. Although they themselves could eliminate all the superpowered individuals here, it wouldn't be as easy as it was now, and there was a possibility of casualties, because they had just witnessed the power of these alien weapons.

"Are we really that far behind them?" Falcon said with a wry smile, looking at the situation.

"And most importantly, since these weapons can be made using materials from Earth, it means the other side might have even more advanced weapons." Tony took a weapon from a mecha soldier and said with a furrowed brow.

“The situation is not good. This weapon is completely mass-produced, and it is much more powerful than the alien weapons we encountered before.” Hawkeye said somewhat sullenly, “Judging from this situation, the other side will definitely invade Earth. However, in the past year, we have already consumed most of the superhumans on Earth. We simply cannot fight against such an advanced army with just the people on us.”

“There’s no use talking about this now. We can only take it one step at a time. And don’t forget we still have Hulk and Thor, especially Thor. Maybe we can send him a message,” Black Widow chimed in.

Just then, the Super Girl descended from the sky and landed beside them, saying, "Hey, what are you talking about? I've already rescued the hostage."

"Oh, it's nothing. Now that the hostages have been rescued, we need to capture Red Skull. We must capture him alive; he's extremely important right now," Tony smiled and changed the subject.

Hearing Tony's words, the Avengers of this world knew that now was not the time to talk about these things, and if Red Skull escaped this time, he might go into hiding, which would make things even worse.

When Tony and the others arrived at the villa where Red Skull was, Red Skull was just about to leave through the back door. However, the car behind him had already been tampered with by the Skynet system, and it broke down shortly after Red Skull left. Before Red Skull could even get angry, he saw a figure that terrified him fall from the sky.

"Super... Superman? Wait, not Superman, who are you?" Red Skull was initially shocked, but upon seeing that the other party was a woman, he immediately recovered and snorted coldly.

"The Superman you're talking about is my cousin," Kara added in her mind, "of course, he's from another world." Then she said, "Will you surrender, or do I have to capture you?"

"Hmph, just a little yellow-haired girl, how dare you underestimate me." The Red Skull roared, its entire body emitting a red light, transforming into a three-meter-tall monster made up of red muscles and skulls, as if its skin had been peeled off.

"Ugh, that's disgusting. Is this your trump card?" Supergirl hovered in mid-air, staring into Red Skull's eyes, and asked, "It's just bigger."

Roar! The monster that Red Skull transformed into roared and threw a punch at Supergirl, who was in mid-air. However, Supergirl blocked the punch with her own. Although Red Skull did not use its full strength at first, seeing Supergirl easily block its attack made Red Skull even angrier.

"Hehe, so you're angry? Calm down. I'm still alone. Once they arrive, you'll have even less of a chance. So I think you should just surrender." The Super Girl avoided the other person's anger and said calmly.

Actually, although Supergirl dealt with the punch just now very casually, only she knew that she used 80% of her power at the end. Although Supergirl has only been on Earth for a short time and her strength has not yet reached the level of Superman, her body of steel is not something to be trifled with. The fact that Supergirl could use 80% of her power shows that Red Skull is much stronger than Supergirl at this moment in terms of sheer strength.

This is why Supergirl didn't immediately launch a fierce attack, but instead engaged in psychological warfare. She didn't want to give herself away, otherwise not only would she be beaten up, but the opponent might also escape before the rest of the Avengers arrived. Of course, Supergirl didn't need to stop the opponent for long; a short time would suffice. With her super hearing, she could already hear the voices of Atom, Iron Man, and Firestorm flying in from afar.

Being constantly harassed and pestered by Supergirl, Red Skull was furious and enraged. Although he resembled the Hulk in height and appearance, he wasn't. Anger wasn't his source of power; rather, perhaps due to a flaw in the power itself, Red Skull failed to notice Supergirl's scheme in time. After being held back for a while, he was surrounded by Atom, Iron Man, and Firestorm, among others.

"Hey, you guys are finally here. This guy is really strong," the Super Girl said with a smile.

"Hey, big guy, what's wrong with you? Are you cosplaying as the Hulk?" Tony asked with a grin, hovering beside him in his Iron Man suit.

“No need to ask, he seems to be out of his mind right now.” Super Girl shrugged and said, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to hold him off for so long, even though he’s a tiny bit stronger than me.”

Red Skull remained silent. Upon seeing the four enemies, he immediately began to attack with brute force. However, everyone present was highly agile and capable of flight. Brutal force alone was insufficient to defeat the four. Consequently, he was beaten up and ultimately struck hard on the head by Supergirl. The red light flashed again, and Red Skull returned to normal, lying unconscious on the spot.

"Looks like he was just a pawn," Tony sighed, looking at Red Skull.

"Hmm? That makes sense. According to Constantine, the person behind him should be incredibly powerful, but even someone that strong didn't offer Red Skull the slightest help," Atom shrugged.

“Perhaps he doesn’t take Earth seriously,” said Firestorm Jefferson.

“Anyway, we’ve captured the Red Skull. What’s the next step?” Supergirl asked Tony.

“Let Athena interrogate Red Skull, and the rest of us will end this Third World War, caused by Hydra and humanity’s own greed,” Tony said calmly.

Chapter 453 The Vanguard Arrived, Then Destroyed

The watchtower, still Adam's current location, is the warehouse where his spaceship is located. Adam, who has completed most of his work, noticed that Athena had not yet returned and frowned slightly.

"Has Athena not returned yet?" he asked.

"Yes, sir, Miss Athena hasn't returned yet. Should I go check on her?" A gentle, middle-aged man's voice rang in Adam's ears. It was Charles, the smart terminal that Athena had designed later so that mutants could use the Watchtower effectively.

"No need for that. I'm going out now. If Athena comes back, tell her I'm going to clean up the trash." After Adam finished speaking, he left the warehouse, went to the teleportation room, entered some numbers into the controller, and then disappeared in a beam of light.

Because Star-Lord gave Adam a star map of the area when he last visited, and because the Watchtower had been significantly modified by Athena in recent months, making it even more powerful, Adam had already detected unfamiliar spatial fluctuations near Pluto long before Athena set off. A little investigation revealed that these fluctuations were caused by an unfamiliar fleet.

That's right. The current observation tower can detect some activity throughout the solar system. This is the result of Adam taking some time out of his work to build the spaceship over the past few months to visit other planets or moons and install some probes that have been modified by Athena on it.

Although Star-Lord said that Earth had been included in the Star Alliance's jurisdiction, Adam didn't believe that if they encountered a powerful enemy, these bureaucrats would choose to protect a planet they had never even seen. Therefore, he decided to rely on himself and protect the planet himself.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Adam's soft heart. His heart isn't as hard as he thinks, nor is he as cold-blooded as he imagines. He had clearly said he wouldn't help until the very last crucial moment, but when he saw this fleet appear near Pluto, he had already decided to go there himself and make them go back. If they really wouldn't listen to reason, then he would just destroy their fleet.

In the vast expanse of space, 4.8 billion kilometers from Earth, a beam of light suddenly shattered the silence, and Adam appeared in that location. This was a point in the slow orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto, and Adam had visited once before, intending to place his probe on one of Pluto's moons.

Adam hovered silently in space, using his super vision to observe the nearby starry sky. Soon he saw a fleet of no less than thirteen spaceships rapidly heading towards Earth in a clockwise direction at three o'clock.

Earth is not recorded in the star maps of major interstellar civilizations such as galactic empires or federations. The only group that visited Earth once had their star map deleted by Athena for some reason. They also did not actively reveal anything about Earth. However, although they did not reveal anything, some people still discovered that they disappeared in some star system near Pluto. Therefore, the fleet that wants to invade Earth this time can only find a location near Pluto and make a space jump before searching for Earth.

"Hmm, thirteen warships. Since the energy shields can't see inside, let's go try to make contact." Adam was thinking to himself, then his body moved and flew towards the fleet. As for how a space vacuum superman would fly, that's another question…

Adam's flight speed in a vacuum is extremely fast, so in less than ten minutes he caught up with the advancing warship, then went directly to the command ship inside, approached the window of the command ship, and used a prop made by Athena to shout to the alien who looked like the commander.

"Hey, aliens, I need you to stop," Adam said calmly. (Note: This isn't Chinese or English; it's the universal language. The reason it appears as Chinese is because…)

The aliens inside the command ship weren't alarmed when they saw Adam. After all, they had seen many powerful beings who could live freely in the universe. However, they wondered what Adam wanted from them. Didn't they see the insignia on the warship? Some of the aliens wondered.

As for the commander, he narrowed his eyes. What kind of ability is it to directly invade one's brain and have a conversation with oneself? Is the other party friend or foe?

"Who are you?" the alien commander asked.

"The planet you are about to invade is my home planet. We have no intention of starting a war with you, but if you continue to act recklessly, I don't mind destroying your fleet." Adam stood calmly on the rapidly moving warship, staring directly into the eyes of the alien commander through the window.

"Oh, you're from Earth? That's great, we were just about to look for you, and you've come to us on your own." The alien commander didn't take Adam seriously at all, and said coldly.

"It seems we have nothing to say to each other. In that case, don't blame me." Adam snorted coldly and launched a full-force attack, smashing the energy shield attached to the warship and the windows behind it with a loud bang.

The alien commander originally planned to capture Adam, torture him to find Earth's location, conquer the backward planet, and then rise through the ranks to marry a beautiful and wealthy woman and reach the pinnacle of life. Unfortunately, before he could finish his dream, he was completely stunned by Adam's all-out attack.

Their planet's most advanced technology was destroyed by the enemy as easily as tearing a piece of paper. Not only did they break the huge window of the command room, but the air on the command ship was also sucked away by the vacuum outside. The soldiers and pilots who were preparing to watch the show were all sucked into the vacuum outside, and the warship began to develop larger and larger cracks under that guy's constant attacks.

When the command ship was almost destroyed, the commander finally woke up and roared, "Quickly, shoot it down! All other warships, carry out the order immediately and shoot down the command ship!"

Adam was slightly taken aback when he heard the other party's roar. Then, seeing that the other party was able to float in the air above the out-of-control warship and stare at him with a ferocious expression, he knew that the other party was no small character. He was also a strong person with the ability to survive alone in the universe. As for how strong, he didn't know.

With a ferocious expression, the enemy issued the attack order. Upon hearing the commander's command, the warships that had been flying forward normally immediately began their attack, almost instantly shattering the entire command ship. Unfortunately, no matter how well they aimed, they couldn't hit Adam himself, so all their efforts were in vain.

As for the alien commander, Adam had already dealt with him while dodging attacks from the other warships. Although the opponent was indeed able to survive in the vacuum, survival was one thing, and whether he could defeat Adam was another. The opponent, along with his pipe dream, was then thrown into the fragments of the command ship by Adam.

At this moment, the fleet finally revealed some of the qualities a fleet should have. After discovering that the target was not concentrated, it immediately dispersed to increase the distance between itself and Adam, then began to use its quantum computer to locate the position, and finally launched a new round of attacks.

However, Adam is Adam after all. These attacks were completely useless against him. Moreover, the attacks were not even aimed at Adam. He was not the Superman he remembered. He did not think he could withstand the attacks with his steel body. In his memory, too many facts had already proven how foolish it was to use his body to brute force an attack when he could have used speed to dodge, only to be beaten to a pulp.

Every time Batman beats Superman, it's because Superman suddenly and stupidly chooses hand-to-hand combat, only to be completely thrashed by Batman using Kryptonite or other gadgets. Adam thinks that the Superman he remembers must have fallen for Batman, or maybe he just likes that Korean talent agency?!

Hmm, just thinking about this situation was disgusting. Adam immediately stopped trying to delve into his memories and began to focus on fighting the remaining twelve warships. After a spectacular and historically significant battle, Adam finally managed to destroy all twelve warships. Looking at the floating wreckage of the warships around him, Adam coldly stared into the distance.

"This is a little gift for you, Thanos! I'll be here waiting for you!"

Chapter 454 Battle Preparation

That's right, Thanos was behind this whole affair. A year ago, when Adam left Earth, it was already known that Thanos seemed to have his eye on the planet. This was because of the Tesseract in Adam's possession and the Infinity Stone on Loki's scepter. Thanos sent people to search for Earth, and Adam and his companions were fortunate enough to escape. However, shortly after Adam left, Thanos used small rifts in the time portal created by the Tesseract to provide Earth with powerful technology. Of course, this technology was targeted specifically at dealing with superpowered individuals. Because of this, superpowered individuals on Earth were continuously killed and researched by various governments, resulting in a situation where, a year later, there were no truly capable superpowered individuals left on Earth. ??? ≠

Adam originally didn't want to be enemies with such a superpower, but unfortunately the other party set its sights on Earth and directly destroyed everything Adam had on Earth, almost erasing Adam's existence from the Earth. And now, even if he didn't want to face it, he had no choice.

However, Adam simply didn't want to fight, not because he was afraid of fighting. Retreating now would only embolden the enemy. Since things had come to this, he had nothing to fear. If they wanted to fight, they should fight!

For the reasons mentioned above, Adam launched a direct attack on the First Fleet, which had just arrived near Pluto, and effortlessly destroyed Thanos's vanguard fleet.

“It’s time to go back.” Adam stood in the ruins of the warship for a while, and after confirming that there were no enemies, he immediately activated the teleportation device on his wrist and returned to the watchtower.

"Master, you're back?" Adam had just returned when he saw Athena waiting for him in the teleportation room.

"Yeah, we wiped out one of Thanos's fleets. I think next time they might not just send one fleet." Adam shrugged and asked, "How's things going on your end?"

“Red Skull has been arrested, and I interrogated him before. The person behind him is indeed Thanos; he just volunteered to take over Earth,” Athena briefly explained the situation before concluding.

"Hmm, Thanos doesn't seem to be making any moves yet. We need to force him into an elite-level battle with us. Otherwise, if he launches a large-scale attack and sends people to hold us back, Earth might really be destroyed," Adam said after a moment of thought.

"Let me look at Red Skull's memories. Thanos seems to be an extremely arrogant person, and he is almost invincible in his star system. In addition, he seems to have received the blessing of the Goddess of Death, making him immortal." Athena also shared the information she had obtained from Red Skull's memories.

"An immortal body? That means it can only be sealed, not destroyed. It seems that the person Constantine was truly afraid of before was the Goddess of Death herself." Adam was taken aback when he heard this and said.

“Just as Master predicted, Constantine said that this goddess of death is not one of those in mythology, but a real ancient god born with the universe. Fortunately, she won’t interfere in these trivial matters,” Athena said.

"This universe is just too vast, with so many things we don't know about. It seems that leaving Earth after this event was the right thing to do. We can't just stay in such a small place and dream about the future," Adam said with some emotion.

"Master, what do we need to do now?" Athena asked.

"Wait, wait for Thanos to send more people over. Oh, and after the war on Earth is over, have Hera, Phoenix, and Firestorm bring them here," Adam instructed Athena.

"Are we dealing with Thanos's minions?" Athena asked.

"Hmm, we don't know how many fleets will come next time. With those three around, no one will escape our grasp. We can't let them get Earth's true coordinates, otherwise we'll have to fight a decisive battle on Earth, and who knows how badly Earth will be destroyed then," Adam said in a deep voice.

"I understand." Athena nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.

"Oh, by the way, when you go back, take Janata with you. She's been tired of being here all the time; let her go back and have some fun." Adam said, a kind smile appearing on his face as he thought of Janata.

“Master is becoming more and more like a father,” Athena said with a smile after seeing Adam.

Adam smiled without saying a word and continued with his work. As for observing Thanos's fleet, Charles, the intelligent butler at the Watchtower, could handle it. He would notify Adam if any enemies were spotted. Athena, on the other hand, had to deal with matters on Earth, so after finishing her conversation with Adam, she left with the Gana Tower.
