Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian
Page 153
The fact that it could survive being besieged by more than a dozen nimble small fighter planes was due, on the one hand, to the shield force field installed by the Skrulls on the Quasa, and on the other hand, it relied on Maria Rambo's superb driving skills.
It's important to note that the Quasa was originally designed for use within the atmosphere. In a universe devoid of air and unable to utilize aerodynamics, Maria Rambo's ability to achieve such a feat, relying solely on a Skrull-improvised posture-adjusting nozzle, is a testament to her exceptional talent.
However, the shield's protection has its limits. Even the most skilled pilot can easily make mistakes when surrounded. Therefore, the Kwajet's situation is precarious.
As for Captain Marvel, in her binary form, she was held captive by her former Kree Star Troopers, just like in the movie. Even the massive Blanchard remained embedded in the hatch where Black Superman had trapped him, remaining unconscious.
So, even though he's the strongest Captain Marvel, he's useless. Black Super can only show up, but Nick Fury won't turn into a grand firework.
He was counting on this guy to help him sort out the mess left by the Skrulls inside S.H.I.E.L.D. If he died here, he would have to spend a lot more time and effort, and owe a lot of favors, to sort out the trouble caused by those shapeshifters.
Although this goes against the purpose of his lazy life, the reluctant Black Super can only use his super speed to quickly break away from the Kree cruiser and enter space.
Tying his spoils behind his waist, Hei Chao squatted on the outer wall of the Kree cruiser.
The Kree's experience in space combat was far greater than that of the female pilot, who had only been a test pilot. Furthermore, one of the Kree fighters was a command aircraft of a significantly different design, but with far greater combat experience.
It was the arrival of that command ship that unleashed the Kree fighters' attack, a wave of attacks coming from all directions. It was a miracle the Kwa jets didn't explode into fireballs.
It seems that a one-on-seven situation is beyond the scope of any pilot's ability. In this situation, Maria Rambo is unlikely to stage another exciting dogfight and kill the Kree fighter in the canyon.
Moreover, the dilemma Maria Rambo faces is not just the difference in the number of enemies and friends, but the excessive burden is her biggest challenge.
Because now in the Quajet, there are not only Maria Rambeau, Nick Fury, the Metamorphosis beast, and General Talos and his family of three.
In addition to the dozen or so Skrull soldiers who had accompanied and supported them earlier, nearly twenty Skrull refugees under the protection of Dr. Marvel were also on the parade.
Just imagine, an aircraft that should be very flexible, but its cabin is packed with people like a bus during rush hour.
The Devourer was lying on top of the dashboard. Wouldn't they consider using the microcosm in the little creature's mouth to temporarily swallow the overloaded passengers?
But it seems that now is not a good time to remind them, the Qua jet is about to be blown up.
In space, because there's no air, many maneuvers that fighters perform within the atmosphere don't exist. There's no difference in turning radius or rate of turn, and it's nothing like what's shown in the movie "Star Wars."
The direction and speed of a fighter's maneuvering are entirely determined by the use of propellant. The same amount of propellant used for acceleration must be used for deceleration.
Applying forces in different directions will change the aircraft's direction. All movements are strictly governed by the mathematical addition of vectors, unless the aircraft is caught by the gravity of a celestial body, which adds an additional force to its movement.
In other words, as long as the operation is reasonable, even right-angle maneuvers, or even acute-angle maneuvers, are not a big problem for space fighters, as long as the pilot can withstand the G-forces caused by the intense maneuvers.
So the Kree fighters' wave attacks were actually just a simple process of accelerating, decelerating, turning, and then accelerating again. But under human command, this simple time-lag maneuver still created a deadly offensive.
The moment Hei Chao thought of it, he locked onto the main engines of all Kree aircraft.
Unlike the nozzles used for adjusting the aircraft's posture, which utilize the gas released by the evaporation of propellant to change the aircraft's direction, the main engine not only generates energy for the entire aircraft but also provides the shuttle's main propulsion, making it a critical device.
Black Super took advantage of the Kryptonians' ability to appear to be flying but actually control gravity, and destroyed the engines of all the Kree aircraft at the shortest distance and fastest speed, leaving them only able to maintain inertial drifting.
Although the nozzles that adjusted the aircraft's posture were intact, the propellant inside the aircraft could still control its direction. However, losing the power of the main engine also meant that their energy weapons were also useless.
The damage to each fighter varied, due to the varying angles of the Black Super's attack, but none of them were destroyed. For some reason, wearing all black made it difficult to kill.
The only miscalculation was the unusual-looking fighter launched from Mar-Vell's Kree cruiser as a command aircraft, piloted by a female member of the Kree Star Troopers.
This larger fighter had a much higher shield field than the smaller Kree fighters, and she wasn't the first target, which meant the pilots had time to react once they noticed they were under attack.
This guy's method was to maximize the shield's energy within the mere fraction of a second of judgment time, and most of it was concentrated on the tail of the aircraft, where the engines were located, which was the most vulnerable.
This meant that Hei Chao's actions only caused the fighter to roll over several times, but failed to destroy the main engine.
However, at this time, the black supercomputer had already begun to pass through the atmosphere and descend to the ground. He was too lazy to turn back to deal with this fish that had escaped the net.
With only one enemy left, it would be nice to give Nick Fury some fun, so he wouldn't have to keep mumbling to Maria Rambeau in the cockpit about tracking him down and finding out who this mysterious figure was who was helping them.
This damn curiosity is worse than that of a cat.
The fighter plane that had managed to escape Black Super's clutches lived up to expectations and did not stay to rescue its compatriots, but continued to pursue them. After all, they still had another small warship behind them that could carry out rescue operations.
Perhaps the mission she was given at the beginning was to chase the Skrulls and the natives of Planet C53 who escaped from the cruiser, so she did not chase after the more threatening Black Super.
On the one hand, it was because Hei Chao had already moved away, and at a very fast speed, he was descending towards the surface. Rather than chasing such an enemy, it was better to complete the mission.
She had learned from reports from Blanche and other soldiers that an unknown enemy was lurking within the cruiser. However, their behavior seemed more like they were trying to take advantage of the situation and steal something, though the extent of the damage was unknown.
According to Commander Yon-Rogg's instructions, this man is listed as the second priority target. After the first priority target is eliminated, he will be considered.
The first target, of course, is the Skrulls, the archenemy of the Kree Empire.
So, Minerva, piloting her fighter, resolutely pursued the lagging aircraft full of Skrulls. She first shot at it, preventing them from reuniting, and then pursued the clumsily flying Elephant.
Chapter 380: Shocking the Audience
It must be said that the Kree aircraft pilot, who reacted quickly, helped Black Superman a lot. Otherwise, he would have been the one being targeted by Nick Fury.
Black Super's flying speed was certainly not enough for the Qua jet to catch up with him. He was just afraid that when they realized they couldn't catch him, they would start using unconventional tactics, that is, calling for support.
After all, this is Earth, and above the United States, their home turf.
Even if physical flight wouldn't be picked up by radar in broad daylight, there was a chance of witnesses. Once recorded, with the US's intelligence analysis capabilities, there was no guarantee they would infer anything close to the truth. Black Chao didn't want to be exposed.
Besides, bats aren't active during the day... Oh, no, that's not right. It should be said that daytime isn't the time for night crawlers to move around, and the black night clothes are too conspicuous.
As for the upcoming arrival of Ronan the Accuser's ship, the 9509-year-old Dark Aster, the Kree Empire's most powerful warship, and its subordinates, that's Captain Marvel's true debut stage. There's no need to steal her thunder.
However, after Hei Chao placed the advanced technological civilization storage device he had brought back into the secret space on the second floor of the Yangdong Valley Laboratory, he did not take off his nighttime combat suit, but returned to the ground in the battlefield area.
In the sky, Ronan the Accuser ordered his fleet, including his own ship, a total of four Kree Empire warships, to launch a ground attack on the planet C53 with ballistic warheads.
Although Hei Chao couldn't determine the true power of those numerous missiles, they certainly wouldn't be powerful enough to destroy a planet. At most, they would cause the extinction of life on Earth, much like the dinosaurs that were wiped out by a comet impact in history.
...I think so. If these missiles had the ability to drill into the earth and blow up the Earth's core, Black Super wouldn't be surprised. After all, they were at the technological level of the Galactic Empire, and they didn't have many star-destroying tactics. Let the Kree go home and sip milk for a few more years.
Looking at this scene, Black Super really wondered what kind of person would believe that Asgard was serious when it claimed that Midgard was under their protection?
He couldn't help but say to the sky, "Heildam, Midgard is almost finished with the Kree. As the protector of the Nine Realms, won't Asgard come out to take care of it?"
As expected, there was no response.
The only person who ever said that was Thor, who had just emerged from his middle school years. Thinking about it this way, it made sense.
Midgard is one of the Nine Realms, that's true. Since the World Tree is involved, it's definitely something Asgard must protect. But... protecting the Earth and protecting the people on Earth are two different concepts, so no one would confuse them.
Only the middle-aged prince believed their boasting. He didn't see his father, who was a clear-headed person, and just waited for death.
What's with the idea of a god-like being indifferent to such trivial matters? Does it mean that Odin is the only one capable of fighting in all of Asgard, and he's so reluctant to send even a single soldier? Or did Heimdall miss something? Is the Bifrost too slow in deploying troops?
If they say that because the belief in the Norse gods no longer exists on Earth, they can just ignore it, then they can still call themselves guardians?
Ultimately, it's still a transaction.
Looking up at the black shadow in the sky, he seemed to be able to see the gods looking down upon all living things. All of this only made him feel full of ridicule.
"Who are you?" An untimely voice interrupted Black Super's melancholy. The forced-landing Kree Star Troopers commander, Yon Rogue, stepped out of his single-person flying craft.
He pulled out his energy pistol and pointed it at the masked man who was wrapped in black.
People from the Kree Empire camp will not lie in front of him.
The Skrull Empire… that empire no longer existed. If a Skrull encountered him alone, any savvy one would simply flee. The elite warriors of the Star Troopers were not something a mere Skrull could handle one-on-one.
Therefore, this person hiding his head and showing his tail, yet not running away, could only be a native of Planet C53. Only the ignorant would stand before him fearlessly. This was also why Yong Logue activated the cosmic translator to communicate with the newcomer.
In the sky, Captain Marvel, who has activated the binary star mode, faces head-on the ground-to-ground missile launched from space.
Not only did Asgard not respond, but even the defense forces of the United States did not respond.
But the US military's inability to respond was not surprising. After all, all forces on Earth are currently defending themselves against their neighbors on the same planet, but no one has considered defending against attacks from space.
Didn’t you see that when they were helping the X-Men fight the DeBerrys, not only did these aliens invade with small fighter jets, but even warships entered the atmosphere and launched attacks on the ground?
With so many American soldiers witnessing it, Hei Chao couldn't believe no one had reported it to their superiors. They'd been clamoring all night, and the reason American reinforcements hadn't arrived was simply because they themselves didn't know how to handle the situation.
But there is also a possibility that both factions noticed that a kind-hearted person, eager to help others, had already taken on the trouble. Of course, they accepted it with a smile.
Don't blame these people for taking advantage. Because from a certain perspective, their inaction is precisely because they are powerless.
He lowered his head, no longer watching the scene in the air where Captain Jing had detonated all the missiles. Black Chao didn't have much time left, and Yong Logue was his target.
"How much do you know about Krypton?" Black Super finished speaking, and then added: "Do you know Krypton?"
"Who are you? Why do you want to know this information?" Yong Logue asked the same question again, this time with an additional question.
Rather than negotiate terms or offer tricks, Black Superman decided to use a more time-saving method. He quickly recounted the information the Skrulls had given him about Krypton and asked:
"This is what the Skrulls told me. So I want to know if the Kree have a different version."
Yon-Rogg asked back, "Are you a Kryptonian?"
Black Superman jumped off the rock he was sitting on and walked up to the Kree Star Troopers commander. "That's what the Skrulls said, too. I have no birth certificate or ID to prove anything."
"It's just that I don't fully trust a single source of intelligence. Since you and the Skrulls are enemies, do you have anything different to tell me?"
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This principle applies to the entire universe. Black Superman is trying to use the hostility towards the Skrulls to get the Kree to speak up.
Of course, considering the possibility that the other party might deliberately speak in a sarcastic manner and provide misleading information, Black Super's super brain was working at full capacity to pay attention to everything Yong Logue did in order to discern the truth.
Chapter 381: Kree's Version of Krypton
"Ha, is this what those shapeshifters said? Krypton has offended every civilization in the universe, so it's being attacked by everyone?"
After putting away his gun, Yong Logue laughed first, then said something different.
During the hundreds of thousands of years of war between the Kree and Skrull empires, the territories of both sides remained largely unchanged. Each war was fought between one dominant civilization, seeking to destroy the other's dominant civilization and increase its own influence.
If we use the history of the Earth as an analogy, it is more like the European powers during the colonial era.
They conquered a place for the local market, resources and manpower, not like the American Westward Expansion history, where the indigenous people were massacred so that the white people could become the masters of the land and spread out.
Only in this way can a small number of dominant civilizations rule over a large number of different civilizations and form a vast imperial territory.
To ensure the foundation of their rule, the military power of the vassal civilizations was strictly limited. Therefore, the war between the two sides was not like the Mongol invasion of the West, where the Mongol army led several times more vassal armies to launch a "world war" in the era of cold weapons.
Instead, the armies of the dominant civilization collide on the battlefield, while the other vassal civilizations provide resources, continuously manufacturing the weapons or supplies needed for war, aiming to drain the blood and vitality of these people.
The solar system is on the edge of the war zone between the two sides. The Kree Empire took the lead in building an outpost on the satellite of Uranus as a "beacon tower" against the Skrull Empire.
As for what the Kree Empire was doing on Earth, Yon-Rogg didn't mention it. It had nothing to do with the original question, so Black Super didn't ask any more questions.
Krypton is located in the Vega Galaxy, about 50 light-years from Earth. The Skrulls originated in the Andromeda Galaxy and have since taken over most of the Milky Way, including the Vega Galaxy.
This is equivalent to a civilization entering the interstellar age emerging in the territory of the Skrull Empire.
According to the Skrull Empire's conquest routine, if there is a dispute within the planetary civilization, they will assess which one is worthy of their support, and then help the supported object to eliminate the other one or others.
If the country is already unified internally, they can use their talents as shapeshifters to infiltrate the civilization and overthrow its regime, thereby supporting their close factions to take power and achieve their goal of ruling.
However, the unique technology tree of Kryptonian civilization in DNA made the Skrulls' routine infeasible. For a civilization like this, the Skrull Empire would destroy it, just like they had destroyed countless civilizations.
Then Krypton rebelled.
The Skrull Empire, underestimating its enemy, was once defeated by this planet that had just entered the interstellar civilization. Such a civilization naturally became the target of the Kree.
Until the Battle of Barrington Galaxy, the Skrull Empire completely annihilated the Kryptonian fleet. Krypton used unknown technology to set up a phantom zone around the Rao system to prevent the Skrull fleet from invading, which was also a kind of self-isolation.
All this happened about ten thousand years ago.
"So what you're saying is that Krypton's only enemies are the Skrulls, who represent the entire universe; and the Kree are allies who can't help at all, is that what you mean?"
Black Super summarized Yong Logue's statement, and at the same time felt full of distrust towards the clear tendency in his words.
"You don't think I'm making this up to win you over, do you? How could I have come up with such a long story in such a short time that it wouldn't stand up to scrutiny? I'm a soldier, not a smooth-talking diplomat."
Black Superman didn't dwell on Krypton's stance any further. "I've heard enough about the conflict between Krypton and the Skrull Empire. So what about the intelligence inside Krypton? How much do you know?"
What Black Superman didn't mention was that, judging by the Skrulls' determination to stink him out and kill him upon encountering him, the hatred between the two sides might be even deeper than imagined. But there's no need to elaborate on these matters.
Yon-Rogg didn't shy away from answering Black Superman's question. "Regarding Krypton's internal intelligence, the Kree Empire also sent secret envoys during Krypton's most active period, providing considerable assistance. So they must have a certain level of knowledge."
"For more detailed information, I believe the Supreme Wisdom has preserved information from that period. But I'm just a soldier, and I only know the history of the war. The inside information I personally know is similar to what the Skrulls said."
"Supreme Wisdom." Hei Chao repeated the name, then asked, "Who is he?"
Although Hei Chao had memories from before the time travel, this name wasn't something he was supposed to know, and he wasn't sure if it matched what he knew, so he decided to ask.
Yon Rogue explains: "The Supreme Intelligence is a living computer. It contains the brains of the greatest statesmen, philosophers, scientists, and thinkers in the history of the Kree Empire, gathered to create a single collective intelligence.
"Every five years, the Kree Empire elects a representative. Upon his death, his brain undergoes special processing and is transferred to the collective mind structure of the Supreme Intelligence. Therefore, the Supreme Intelligence is constantly evolving, without stagnation.
"Approximately... well, nine hundred thousand years ago, based on the orbital period of planet C53, the Supreme Intelligence was chosen as the absolute ruler of the Empire. So you can understand that as our leader, wise man, and elder."
It was similar to what Hei Chao knew.
The Supreme Wisdom is not some distant big figure in the Kree Empire, the kind that ordinary people may not see once in their lifetime.
