Kamen Rider ZZZ from the American comic book world

【BreakamBreaker Mode】(Dream Eater Destroyer Sword Mode)

Under the warm light, the blade has a crystal-clear transparency, and the triple blaster has smooth lines and a high-tech feel.

To test the new weapon, Li Ai found a block of gold-titanium alloy that he had obtained from the Avengers base as an experimental subject. With a swift stroke of his sword, the block of gold-titanium alloy was instantly split in two, the notch being even smoother than the one Tony had cut with the latest experimental equipment.

With a thought, Li Ai rotated the grip and switched the weapon mode again.

【BreakamBuster Mode】(Dream Eater Destruction Cannon Mode)

The triple blaster structure remains unchanged, but the metal sheets unfold along the blade, eventually forming a cannon barrel.

Li Ai locked his gaze on the gold-titanium alloy block, gently pulled the trigger twice, and two crimson light bullets shattered the alloy block, with some parts even being vaporized directly.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Ai satisfiedly switched the Triple Explosive to standby mode. He placed the weapon on the table, reached out and touched the cold outer shell of the Triple Explosive, revealing a satisfied smile.

..............................

Meanwhile, deep in space, a large Kree Empire fleet is resting near a colony planet.

Inside the flagship 'Dark Aster', surrounded by numerous warships, several attendants dressed in black robes with gloomy faces were dressing a tall Kree man in combat armor.

This combat armor can greatly enhance the wearer's physical abilities, giving them a greater advantage in combat against opponents of the same level. In the rigidly hierarchical Kree Empire, only a few high-ranking warriors can wear this combat armor.

The tall Kree man, named Ronan, was the Kree Empire's Accuser, in charge of the Empire's justice system, and could command a powerful military force.

Ronan has a strong facial structure, high brow bones, deep-set eyes, and eyes that are almost devoid of warmth.

Then, several attendants carried a long-handled, hammer-like weapon to Ronan, who picked up this symbol of power reserved for the Accuser and awaited the Supreme Wisdom's instructions.

Ronan is a radical within the Kree Empire. His family died in the war between the Kree Empire and the Nova Corps, so he deeply hates the Nova Corps and discriminates against all races other than the Kree.

But this arrogant accuser of the Kree Empire was frightened away by Captain Marvel Carol Danvers when he led his fleet to wipe out all life on Earth and ensure that none of the Kree Empire's enemies survived.

From then on, Ronan became obsessed with finding powerful cosmic treasures and underwent multiple biological enhancement surgeries to make himself one of the strongest beings in the universe.

Ronan, holding the Accuser's exclusive weapon called 'General Weapon,' stood solemnly awaiting the command from the Supreme Intelligence.

Soon, tentacles shimmering with blue light crawled up Ronan's body, pulling him into a pristine white space. There, Ronan and an elderly Kree, both clad in Accuser combat armor, locked eyes.

The Supreme Intelligence appears as the object of the Kree's deepest reverence, so each Kree sees a different image of the Supreme Intelligence.

“Supreme Intelligence, Ronan the Accuser awaits your next command,” Ronan said, emphasizing each word. “I will attack any planet that might become an enemy of the Empire.”

“But the Empire does not need to fight now,” the Supreme Intelligence replied. “The Shi'ar Empire’s swordsmanship alone changed the course of the war. We should consolidate our forces and reduce our battle lines. For example, we should suspend the fighting against the Skrulls and the Nova Corps. The Shi'ar Empire is the number one enemy, and there is also the Annihilation Zerg lurking in the shadows. The Empire must conserve its strength.”

Ronan was the most dogmatic accuser in the Kree Empire, and based on past experience, the Supreme Intelligence believed that Ronan would not refuse this arrangement.

But the Supreme Intelligence was wrong; Ronan was no longer able to leave the massive war machine.

"Cease the fighting?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Ronan's eyes. He struck the space with his universal weapon, causing the entire mental space to shake immediately. He said sternly:

“The real Kree will not stop fighting, and I will not accept any arrangements.”

"Ronan, are you going to betray the Empire?" the Supreme Intelligence asked rhetorically.

“No, I want to create a true Kree Empire.” Ronan pounded on the mental space, and the connection between the Supreme Intelligence and him was immediately severed.

Ronan acted swiftly, severing the entire fleet's connection to the Supreme Intelligence and thus gaining complete control.

But Ronan knew that if he truly wanted to build a more powerful Kree Empire, he would need sufficient power and cosmic treasures.

In Ronan's memory, there happened to be a planet named 'C-53' by the Kree Empire, which contained a powerful artifact called the Tesseract. The Kree Empire had sent spies and interstellar special forces to try to find it, but in the end they found nothing. Ronan was even threatened by Captain Marvel and finally had to slink away.

The native life on planet C-53 refers to its home planet as 'Earth'.

But Ronan believed that after so many years, he was strong enough, and he also learned from reliable intelligence that Captain Marvel was entangled in something, and now was his chance to retrieve the Tesseract.

Chapter 198 Agent Hill Wants to Resign

Some time later, on Earth, at night...

Beneath a desert in America, Tony, Steve, and Thor are searching for the Tesseract under the guidance of Maria Hill, the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After taking over as director, Agent Hill wore a perpetually worried expression, overwhelmed by the various projects, plans, actions, and budget arrangements.

"Ever since Howard Stark salvaged the Tesseract, it has been kept by S.H.I.E.L.D., during which time Project Pegasus was launched to try to research a faster-than-light engine."

Agent Hill led the way, and with the director's Level 10 clearance, she led the three into the elevator that went directly to the core laboratory.

Inside the elevator, Steve lowered his head in thought, his tone grave as he said, "Don't you know what happened to Red Skull and Hydra?"

Although Hill only said that Project Pegasus was trying to research a faster-than-light engine, Steve felt it was not that simple. He believed that S.H.I.E.L.D. was definitely using the Tesseract to research weapons, just like Hydra had done before.

“But we also need enough strength to protect ourselves, Captain,” Hill said helplessly.

“No, this doesn’t count as protecting yourselves,” Thor retorted sternly. “The Cosmic Cube emits fluctuations at a special frequency. Your actions are tantamount to exposing Earth to other cosmic civilizations and telling them that Earth is ready for advanced warfare.”

"Looks like you've gotten yourself into some serious trouble, Agent Hill." Tony glanced at Hill meaningfully.

After being lectured by Thor, Hill could only force herself to control her emotions. Since S.H.I.E.L.D. was not as powerful as it was during Nick Fury's time, she had to maintain a good working relationship with the Avengers.

“I haven’t been in this position for very long, and Project Pegasus started a long time ago, before Nick Fury even became director. I can’t say what S.H.I.E.L.D. went through.” Hill sighed helplessly.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is still a behemoth, and outsiders can only see a part of it floating on the surface. Hill has no control over it at all, and she has even considered resigning.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and the four of them arrived at the core laboratory of the base.

A group of scientists are studying data around an instrument, with a cosmic cube emitting a faint blue light located in the center of the machine.

Tony also noticed that the machine architecture that fixed the Cosmic Cube was very similar to the Arc Reactor. He wanted to make a joke about it, but then he gave up after remembering that his father had also participated in the Cosmic Cube's Pegasus Project.

But Tony and Steve saw another 'familiar face'.

"Wow, the two generations of directors of S.H.I.E.L.D. have reunited." Tony said, looking at the bald figure covered in black.

“Nick? Didn’t you voluntarily accept the cryogenic punishment from the World Security Council?” Steve frowned as he looked at 'Nick Fury' not far away.

Looking at the two Avengers before him, Nick Fury spread his hands and explained:

"To be precise, my real body is indeed being tortured, but this is just my life model avatar, or LMD for short."

"What kind of new technology is this?" Steve asked, puzzled.

"Just think of this Nick Fury as a remote-controlled car, while the real Nick Fury is still lying in his hibernation pod. This clone is just being remotely controlled," Tony explained the technology in the simplest language possible, with his hands in his pockets.

“But I don’t want to concern myself with Midgard’s technology.” Thor twirled the hammer handle and pointed at the Cosmic Cube, saying:

“That’s Asgard’s spoils of war, and I’m taking it with me.”

“Nick, Thor and his family are the true owners of the Tesseract,” Steve added.

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury was still somewhat reluctant. He hoped that the Tesseract could create another Captain Marvel-like powerful force, especially as the madmen on Earth grew stronger.

“I think…” Just as Nick Fury was about to finish speaking, everyone saw Maria Hill answer a phone call.

"What? You mean there are three meteorites heading towards Earth in a straight line?" Agent Hill pressed, holding the phone to her ear.

"Tell me the crash site quickly."

..............................

at the same time

As the city lights begin to twinkle in New York City, on Broadway in Manhattan, Li Ai is fulfilling her duties as a regulator, taking Wanda out for a stroll to relax.

Wanda, who once aspired to a career in the performing arts, chose to see a musical on Broadway today. She selected a very classic romantic musical, "West Side Story".

This story is somewhat like a gangster version of Romeo and Juliet; it's a tragic love story.

At the end of the musical, the female lead, heartbroken and holding the male lead who was accidentally killed, addresses all the gang members who participated in the shootout:

“All of you! You all killed him! Not with knives, not with guns, but with your hatred! Now I hate you too, I hate you so much I want to kill you all, but I can’t, because I only have love left in my heart.”

"Because all I have left in my heart is love..." Wanda sobbed when she heard this line. She is a very sensitive person and can empathize with the characters in tragic stories.

Li Ai also noticed Wanda's emotional change. He didn't look at the actors on stage, but turned to Wanda and asked in a low voice:

"You cried?"

"No, I didn't." Wanda tried to deny it, but her acting was terrible, and her tearful voice gave her away.

At this moment, the actors on stage finished their curtain call, and some audience members began to leave. Li Ai and Wanda walked side by side toward the theater exit.

A night breeze brushed against her face, clearing Wanda's mind. She hadn't yet recovered from her tragic love story, so Li Ai tried to change the subject, asking:

"Since you like musicals so much, why don't you go and learn how to do it?"

Wanda brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Who would watch someone like me, a self-taught amateur, perform in a musical?"

“Then sing for yourself.” Li Ai stretched his arms to loosen his muscles, making a series of soft clicking sounds. Then he lowered his arms and said seriously, “If you really want an audience, I can be the first one, and others can come and watch too.”

“You’re so kind-hearted, Mr. Regulator.” Wanda tilted her head, glancing at Li Ai out of the corner of her eye.

The neon lights on both sides of the street reflected in Wanda's eyes, making her pupil color difficult to discern.

Just then, a shooting star streaked across the sky, a sight witnessed by all New Yorkers, as it plummeted straight toward Harlem.

"Did anyone predict that a meteor would fall in New York today?" Wanda asked, looking up at the direction where the meteorite had disappeared, her confusion replaced by vigilance.

“No.” Li Ai realized something was wrong. He turned to Wanda and said seriously, “The event is temporarily canceled. Next is the field mission.”

The meteor that struck Harlem collapsed several houses, killing more than 20 people the moment it hit the ground and causing a major fire, as residents screamed and fled the scene.

Amidst the burning ruins of the house, rubble and broken building materials continued to fall, and in the thick smoke and flames, a Sentinel robot from the Kree Empire stood tall.

Chapter 199 The Kree Sentinels

A humanoid machine, its body a dark purple and silver-gray, with cold, hard lines, slowly walked out of the fire. Each step caused the ground to tremble dully as its metal feet trod over the burning ruins.

It is about five meters tall, and its head has no obvious facial features. Only its eye-shaped monitors, which emit a green light, provide it with environmental information.

The Kree Sentinel scans the surrounding environment and eventually locks onto the center of New York City. As per procedure, it will place a negative decay bomb there, which, together with two other Kree Sentinels, will use negative decay bombs to eliminate life on Earth's surface and clear the way for the main force.

This inhuman war machine, without the slightest pause after landing, marched forward with heavy strides.

The Kree Sentinel will clear away any 'obstacles' in its path, sweeping away cars that crash into building walls and explode into fireballs.

In just a few dozen meters, the entire street was left in a mess, with sirens, cries, and the loud noises of collapsing buildings all mixed together.

“Damn monster!” A middle-aged man on the Kree Sentinel’s usual route pulled out a pistol for self-defense. His legs were pinned down by a car, and in a fit of fear, he pulled the trigger at the Kree Sentinel.

boom--

The .22 caliber bullets landed on the Kree sentries without leaving a single mark; instead, the brass bullets, due to the recoil, turned into a pile of fragments that could be blown away by a gust of wind.

But the gunshot also attracted the attention of the Kree sentries.

This war machine was as ruthless as its creator. The Kree Sentinel turned his head, and his binocular optical sensors changed from green to a dangerous red, accompanied by a faint hum.

The middle-aged man's face was deathly pale, but his legs were pinned under the vehicle, and he could only watch helplessly as the red light grew increasingly blinding.

A crimson telekinetic force moved the wreckage aside, and the deformed car was lifted up by an invisible force, tumbling and crashing to the side.

At the same time, a spider silk shot out from the side with a soft whistling sound, precisely wrapping around the middle-aged man's lumbar spine.

Gwen, who was firing spider silk, suddenly pulled, dragging the middle-aged man out of the Kree sentry's attack range.

Almost simultaneously, a blazing red laser struck the spot where the middle-aged man had just been standing. The concrete floor was instantly melted, creating a deep, smoking crater. The concrete around the crater was still glowing red and emitting a pungent, acrid smell. If it had hit a person, they would probably have been instantly vaporized.

Wanda, dressed in a custom-made combat suit, stood on a building not far away. The hot wind made her red trench coat flutter, and the red tactical lens on her face could both cover her face and collect information on the scene.

The scene before her eyes somewhat triggered Wanda's childhood trauma. The Kree Sentinel reminded her of the missiles that bombed Sokovia. Red light surged from her fingertips, and she spread her arms. Two buildings that had already been destroyed by the Kree Sentinel rose from the ground and crashed heavily onto the Kree Sentinel.

Boom—

After a dull thud, smoke and dust filled the air, but the Kree sentinel remained firmly in place, without moving an inch.

"This isn't from Earth, is it?" Wanda and Gwen's faces turned pale.

Suddenly, the armor on the Kree Sentinels opened, and eight laser cannons extended simultaneously, their muzzles aimed at Wanda, Gwen, and all the humans who had come to the rescue, as well as those who had not yet evacuated.

The energy was fully charged in an instant. Just as the Kree Sentinel was about to indiscriminately destroy its surroundings, a bolt of golden lightning descended from the sky. The massive energy reaction caused the Kree Sentinel to focus all its attention on the suddenly appearing 'enemy'.

A fist crackling with golden lightning slammed into the Kree Sentinel's head. Hair-thin arcs of electricity crackled around Li Ai, and the Kree Sentinel's outer armor turned charred. This machine, which knew no pain, raised its hand to try and knock Li Ai away, but missed its target.

Li Ai, transformed into golden lightning, fell not far from the Kree sentinels.

【Good Morning! I?Na?Zu?Ma! Rider! Z?Z?Z! Plasma! 】

There was actually more than one Kree Sentinel that suddenly appeared. According to the report given by Steve, a total of three Kree Sentinels landed on Earth, and the other two fell into the Nevada desert and the Alaskan wilderness, respectively.

The other two Kree Sentinels crashed in deserted areas, while the one in front of Li Ai crashed into downtown New York City, killing more than twenty people in the crash alone.

The Kree Sentinel who fell into the desert was dealt with by Thor, Tony, and Steve, while the one in the wasteland was dealt with by Banner, Peter, and Sam.
