Chapter 107:
The deck was now filled with the assembled Avengers.
Kree soldiers surged forward like a tide. These blue-skinned warriors all carried pulse weapons.
Their energy blades gleamed with dangerous light, completely encircling the Avengers.
The air hummed with the buzz of high-voltage current. The warship's metal deck trembled under the heavy military boots.
Natasha and Hawkeye stood back-to-back, their long knives shining with cold, sharp light.
The two blades were identical in shape, even the reflective points on the edges were the same.
"Clint, when did you steal my knife?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.
"Last Wednesday, when you weren't around."
Hawkeye watched the approaching Kree soldiers with a deadpan expression.
"But I left you a spare. Touched?"
"We'll talk about it properly after this fight is over." Natasha gave a light laugh as she adjusted her blade.
Captain America stood at the front, shield strapped to his left arm, muscles tense, eyes sharp.
The Kree soldiers' encirclement grew tighter. The charging sounds of pulse guns rose and fell.
Tony Stark's armor hovered in mid-air, repulsors fully charged and ready.
"Old popsicle, how about a pre-battle speech? This is the Avengers' first official confrontation with aliens. We need some sense of ceremony."
Natasha adjusted her blade with a light smile: "That's right, Captain. Say something."
Deadpool immediately bounced up, clutching his chest, his mask's eye-pieces turning into starry eyes.
"I know! I know!"
He imitated Steve's posture, lowered his voice, and roared in a rough tone.
"Avengers!"
"Wade, if you dare imitate me again, I'll shove you into a Kree cannon barrel!"
Steve finally exploded. His affectionate greeting left everyone stunned for a second.
Tony raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
Deadpool clutched his chest, pretending to be hurt: "Captain! How could you do this to me! I'm your number one fan!"
The Kree soldiers looked at each other, seemingly confused by the bizarre atmosphere.
Tony sighed, somewhat speechless: "Should I just open fire first?"
"No."
Steve took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and firmly strapped the shield to his arm.
He scanned the group with a determined gaze.
The Kree soldiers' encirclement had reached its limit. The targeting lasers from the pulse guns danced across everyone.
Deadpool rubbed his hands excitedly and drew the dual katanas from his back: "It's coming! It's happening right now!"
"Avengers!"
Steve's voice was low and deep. He raised his shield high, reflecting dazzling sunlight.
"Assemble!"
"WOOOOOHOOOOO!"
Deadpool instantly turned into a blur. His dual blades flashed as he crashed straight into the Kree formation.
"Let Uncle Deadpool take good care of you all!"
Steve's shield whistled through the air, blasting a gap in the Kree soldiers' ranks. The sound of metal colliding was deafening.
Natasha and Hawkeye darted out like ghosts. Their long knives drew cold, sharp arcs. Wherever they passed, pulse guns were sliced in half.
Tony's repulsors fired at full power. One charged shockwave blasted away half a squad.
"Jarvis, record the combat data. This is way more exciting than the test range!"
The two sides immediately clashed, and the fight quickly reached its peak!
The Kree soldiers were horrified to discover that these Earthlings were… not right!
Natasha delivered a side kick that sent a two-meter-tall Kree warrior flying dozens of meters. The deck was plowed into a deep groove.
Hawkeye's long knife slashed down, cutting a Kree alloy pulse gun in half.
The blade's momentum didn't stop, slicing through the soldier behind it — armor and all!
The most terrifying was Deadpool. He charged through the enemy formation like a red whirlwind, his dual blades turning into a meat grinder while he chattered nonstop.
"Left! Right! Uppercut! Oh sorry, I forgot to pull the blade back!"
One Kree soldier clutched his spurting neck and collapsed.
In the command center
The Kree commander stood in front of the monitor screen, his face deathly pale: "This is impossible! How can Earthlings have this kind of power?!"
The adjutant trembled as he pulled up the data: "Vital signs show their muscle density exceeds that of Kree elite warriors by dozens of times!"
On the battlefield, Steve shattered a Kree soldier's chest armor with one punch and caught his returning shield.
A spinning kick sent another flying into the sea.
He glanced at his teammates who were dominating the enemy ranks and showed a faint smile.
The boss's serum really is terrifying.
Tony blasted away a Kree trying to sneak up on him. His expression behind the faceplate was a little gloomy.
"You guys who got the serum are having all the fun. I'm the only pure tech user here, huh?"
Deadpool popped his head out of the pile of bodies and said without looking back:
"Don't worry, Tin Can! When we get back, I'll ask the boss to give you a shot too!"
As he spoke, he knocked out the last standing Kree soldier with the hilt of his knife.
"Guaranteed to make you hard again!"
"WADE!!!" Steve and Tony roared in unison.
Kree Reconnaissance ShipCommand Room
The Kree commander stared at the monitor showing the pink figure slaughtering his troops. His expression gradually twisted.
"What the hell are they?!"
The adjutant trembled as he explained: "We just pulled the data. According to Earth's 'undying' database entry, the suggestion is to blow them into slag directly."
The commander roared: "Then blow them up!"
The adjutant cried with a miserable face: "We tried! Every time he crawls out of the slag and tells cold jokes!"
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
The Kree commander's furious roar shook the entire bridge. He grabbed the adjutant by the neck and lifted him into the air.
"Lord Ronan's fleet will reach Earth orbit in a few standard hours! If he sees that we couldn't even deal with a few bugs from a primitive planet, what do you think will happen?"
The adjutant's toes kicked futilely in the air. He suddenly screamed hoarsely:
"The lab! That experimental enhancement serum!"
The commander's hand paused mid-motion.
On the monitor, the madman in the red-and-black suit was using a Kree warrior's cape to wipe his blades and making an obscene gesture at the camera.
He felt his blood pressure surging. He could barely hold back anymore!
"Prepare the injection."
The commander ripped open the collar of his uniform. Metal buttons flew everywhere.
"After the injection, I will personally crush them."
With that, the commander strode toward the lab. The adjutant followed trembling.
Inside the lab
The commander stared at the tube of幽 blue serum in his hand. Unstable energy sparks flickered within the liquid.
The adjutant stood to the side, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"This is the last resort."
The commander gritted his teeth and violently stabbed the needle into his neck, injecting the entire serum.
"Ughhhh!!!"
His body instantly arched. His muscles twisted and swelled like steel cables. Veins bulged under his skin, glowing with eerie blue light.
His bones made a teeth-grinding crack-crack sound. His body forcibly grew dozens of centimeters taller. His combat suit ripped apart, revealing the swollen blue skin underneath.
The adjutant retreated in terror, staring in shock at the scene: "Commander, are you alright?"
"Alright?"
The commander slowly raised his head. His eyes had turned into pure blazing white. Energy arced across his body like electricity.
"I have never felt so powerful!"
He punched the alloy wall of the lab.
BOOM!!!
The entire wall caved in and shattered. Metal fragments sprayed out like bullets!
The adjutant was knocked over by the shockwave and slammed into the control console, spitting blood.
The commander looked at his own fist and laughed wildly: "This is what power feels like!"
He strode out, and with every step he took, the deck trembled.
