"Damn it, there must be a major disaster on Earth that S.H.I.E.L.D. can't handle, otherwise Fury would never have contacted me on his own initiative!"
In the past decade or so, Carol Danvers had never received a distress signal from Earth, which made her almost forget the mother Planet that gave birth to her.
Without the slightest hesitation, Carol Danvers immediately dismissed the idea of continuing to interrogate the few space pirates. After knocking them out, she handed them over to the natives of the Planet to deal with.
Then she soared into the sky, like a meteor, rushing out of the Planet's atmosphere in one breath, returning to the small spaceship hovering in the Universe with'stealth mode' activated.
"Fury, I'll be there right away. No matter what disaster you encounter, you must hold on first!"
After entering Earth's interstellar coordinates, Carol Danvers piloted the spaceship to a nearby Jump Point for a long-distance interstellar jump.
Although she could traverse the Universe in her physical body after activating her Binary Form.
However, her own flight speed was limited, and for long-distance interstellar travel, she mostly had to rely on interstellar spaceships for interstellar jumps to complete the journey.
Otherwise, by the time she flew to Earth, Nick Fury's grave grass might already be over two meters high.
...
S.H.I.E.L.D..
In a certain conference room, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and other Avengers members gathered together. Even Tony Stark and Reed Richards, who were busy developing the Ultron System, were called back.
This showed how much Nick Fury valued this pre-war mobilization meeting.
"Wow, this seems to be the first time our New Avengers Alliance has been fully assembled?!"
Human Torch's gaze swept over everyone one by one, then he put on an eager expression and said,
"I don't know why Officer Fury called us together in such a hurry, but I think a major event is probably about to happen, right?"
"Hehe, it looks like it's almost time for me to show off my skills!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to secretly glance at Black Widow sitting to the side, clearly still unwilling to give up on not having been able to go on a date with her as he wished for so long.
So he was preparing to use this opportunity to show off his masculinity and increase the success rate for his next date invitation!
Captain America, Tony Stark, and several other Original Avengers, all looked at Human Torch with the gaze one would give an idiot.
They really didn't know why Nick Fury would invite such a person to join the Avengers. Wasn't this implicitly lowering their own prestige?
Moreover, it was truly unlucky to carry out missions with such an idiot!
"Come on, Jonathan, just shut your crow mouth."
Thing pouted and sarcastically said, "It's not me saying this, but every time you go on a mission, you're the one who drags us down the most. I really don't know how you have the nerve to sit here bragging?"
"Who are you calling a drag?"
Human Torch, feeling insulted, immediately had fire blazing from his head (in the literal sense).
Ben, it's one Thing for you to undermine me in private, but how can you slander me in front of my 'goddess'?
If I chicken out now, how will I ever get that date?
So... I'm not done with you today!
Human Torch immediately slammed the table and stood up, looking as if he was about to challenge Thing to a duel.
And Thing naturally didn't indulge his bad temper. He suddenly stood up, shook his giant, rice-cooker-sized fists, and provocatively said,
"I'm talking about you… What, you don't like it? Do you want to taste my fists?"
Everyone looked speechless. Are these two naturally incompatible?
Why do they keep arguing as soon as they meet?
However, considering that the two had experienced similar situations before, none of the Original Avengers, including Captain America, came forward to persuade them to make peace.
Because it would be useless to say anything. Neither of these two could be reasoned with, and it would only be a waste of breath.
It would be easier to just let them fight it out and see who was superior.
"Ben, Jonathan, can you two please just say one less word?"
Invisible Woman pulled her brother back, and at the same time, cast a pleading look at Reed Richards sitting opposite her.
There was no other way, as Thing usually listened to him the most.
Although Reed Richards and Thing had a small conflict before due to Nick Fury's deliberate instigation, with the passage of time, they had already buried the hatchet and restored their previous friendship.
"Ben, now is not a good time to argue…"
Reed Richards immediately understood, so he leaned close to Thing's ear and whispered a few words. Only then did the latter obediently sit back in his chair, turn his head to the side, and ignore Human Torch opposite him.
The conference room finally returned to a brief silence.
A few minutes later, Nick Fury and Maria Hill hurried in.
"Things seem to be a bit bad, don't they?"
Seeing the grave expressions on their faces, Captain America and the others immediately realized that this incident seemed to be very serious.
As expected, Nick Fury sat down and immediately got straight to the point: "The reason I called all of you here in such a hurry is because Earth is about to face its greatest crisis ever…"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.
No way? Again?
It had only been a few days since the last major disaster appeared!
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Huh?
Wait a minute.
Did that bald head just say 'the greatest crisis ever'?
"Hehe, Fury, guess why I'm not surprised at all to hear this?"
Tony Stark pressed his fingertips together, forming a steeple shape in front of him, and said with a serious but feigned humorous expression:
"Now, if Earth doesn't experience a single disaster for a whole month, I'd even feel a bit unaccustomed to it…"
Tony Stark's words spoke the minds of everyone present.
From some unknown time, major troubles and disasters on Earth began to emerge one after another.
Sometimes they even appeared in clusters.
This couldn't help but make people wonder if Earth had provoked something unclean?
"Hehe, big sis, what did I just say? The greatest crisis ever… I think it will be very exciting?!"
Human Torch looked at Invisible Woman boastfully, then said with a playful smile to Nick Fury, "Officer Fury, who is the enemy we're going to face this time? I can lead the charge!"
This idiot!
Invisible Woman covered her face with her hand. She suddenly regretted why she had told everyone that this guy was her biological brother!
If she hadn't said anything, she could completely pretend not to know this idiot now.
Nick Fury ignored Tony Stark's complaints and Human Torch's self-recommendation, instead looking at everyone with a grave expression and continuing:
"The enemy we are going to face this time is Ronan the Accuser from the Kree Empire, and his Necro-Legion!!"
"The Kree Empire?"
Captain America and the others were stunned upon hearing this, and immediately asked, "Fury, what's going on? Why is that guy named Ronan the Accuser coming to attack Earth?"
Tony Stark folded his arms across his chest and said with a calm expression, "See, I told you…"
"First the Chitauri Legion, then the Dark Elves, and now a Necro-Legion. I really don't know what other strange alien legions will appear next!"
"Heaven knows why Earth has suddenly become so disaster-prone."
"Tony, stop making wild guesses. Ronan is here because of the Tesseract!" Nick Fury said truthfully:
"According to reliable intelligence, Ronan somehow got news that the Tesseract is on Earth, so he personally led his fleet to descend on Earth."
"Wait a minute?"
At this moment, Captain America raised his hand and interrupted, "But the Tesseract was already taken away by Thor, so even if Ronan wants to snatch the Tesseract, he should go to Asgard, right? What is he doing on Earth!"
"Captain, the crux of the problem lies precisely here."
Nick Fury's single eye swept over everyone's faces, then he said earnestly,
"We currently can neither make Ronan believe that the Tesseract is truly not on Earth, nor can we contact Thor in Asgard, so… this time, we can only prepare for the worst."
"In addition, according to reliable intelligence, this Ronan is a notorious tyrant in the Kree Empire, who has extensively invaded and massacred the indigenous people of other Planets, and his Necro-Legion is far more powerful and cruel than the Chitauri Legion. His arrival will undoubtedly be an unprecedented disaster!!"
"This Ronan, he wants to destroy Earth?" Human Torch, as if possessed by a king, patted his chest and said confidently:
"Officer Fury, please rest assured, as long as I, Human Torch, am here, no alien can destroy Earth!"
However, everyone, including Nick Fury, once again looked at him with the gaze reserved for mentally challenged children.
Invisible Woman sighed helplessly in her heart. Little brother, if you really can't control your big mouth, why don't we just go to the hospital and have it sewn up?
"Sounds like a final battle is coming." Tony Stark's expression gradually became serious. "Fury, how much preparation time do we have left?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be more than a day at most!"
Nick Fury shook his head, then continued earnestly, "Actually, this isn't the first time Ronan has tried to invade Earth."
Everyone was greatly shocked by this, and Tony Stark quickly pressed, "Wait, you mean Ronan has invaded Earth before? But why have none of us heard about it?"
"You guessed right."
Nick Fury slowly raised his head, a hint of pride appearing on his face as he said,
"More than a decade ago, Ronan and Kree warriors invaded Earth, and even tried to destroy Earth with a super bomb…"
"However, in the end, they were repelled by me and another superhero working together, and finally, he led his fleet away like a stray dog with its tail between its legs."
"Huh? Why are you looking at me like you're looking at Human Torch?"
Nick Fury, who had been ready to receive applause and praise from everyone, suddenly found that everyone present, except for the comical Human Torch, was looking at him with strange expressions.
It was as if they were saying:
"Alright, Fury, stop bragging to us. We know what you're capable of, don't we?"
"No, do you even believe what you're saying?"
"You know what, looking at his expression, he actually seems to believe it. Indeed, the highest level of deception is to first deceive yourself…"
"If I'm not mistaken, the truth is probably that Fury hid in a safe place until his companions scared Ronan away, and then jumped out to claim the credit, thereby successfully rising to power?"
"Case closed. He would definitely do something so unethical."
Although no one spoke, Nick Fury still mentally concocted various scenarios, almost dying of anger on the spot.
Nick Fury's mouth twitched slightly, and he explained with a dark face, "More than a decade ago, a Kree female warrior named 'Vers' crashed in Los Angeles due to an accident and met me and Coulson, who were then ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
With my strong assistance, she successfully recovered her memory and true identity. It turned out she was Carol Danvers, a former test pilot officially confirmed 'dead' during Dr. Lawson's experimental light-speed engine design!"
"Afterward, she personally described to me that during that test flight of the experimental engine with Dr. Lawson, their fighter jet was accidentally shot down by the Kree who had specifically come to destroy the experiment."
"The Kree did this because Dr. Wendy Lawson was actually a Kree scientist who had defected from the Kree Empire; her real name was Mar-Vell…"
"Later, the Kree killed Dr. Wendy Lawson in front of Carol. An enraged Carol then destroyed the fighter jet's engine, but unexpectedly gained powerful energy, though she also lost her memory in that big explosion."
"Thus, Carol was taken back to the Kree Empire by the Kree, where she was 'brainwashed' and trained into a powerful Kree warrior, until she accidentally crashed on Earth and met me, finally recovering her own memory and identity…"
"Afterward, with my assistance, Carol single-handedly shattered all the missiles launched by Ronan's warship, successfully scaring away Ronan's fleet."
