Chapter 51: I, Thor, Pretend to Be a Pig and Eat a Tiger!
In the illusion created by the Supreme Intelligence—
"Let me out! If you dare to harm my partner, I will burn you to ashes!"
"Why?"
Dr. Lawson, the Supreme Intelligence, mocked, "Everything you have was given by us. What do you have to resist with?"
"No! It was the explosion that gave me strength, not you!"
As she spoke, she rushed forward angrily to attack, but was thrown to the ground by a wave of the Supreme Intelligence's power.
"Your willpower is too weak to control your abilities, so nothing works."
…
"I'm so stupid, really..."
Confined by Kree soldiers, Nick Fury couldn't stop berating himself.
"I'm so stupid for believing you could withstand the collapse of the sky..."
"Shut up!"
Minerva shouted, hitting Nick Fury on the head with her sniper rifle. She ordered the soldiers, "Check these people and throw all the worthless ones overboard."
A soldier scanned the orange cat with a detection device.
"Species name: Flerken. Danger level: High."
Immediately, someone took out a muzzle and fitted it, leaving Nick Fury stunned.
Next, it was Nick Fury's turn: "Species name: Human male. Danger level: Almost zero."
Nick Fury felt like a flock of crows was flying over his head—was he, a dignified S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, less significant than a cat?
Soon, the soldier approached Thor, who was trying to blend in.
"Species name: Homo Asgardian male. Danger class..."
Suddenly, a bright red light flashed on the device, and an alarm sounded.
"Warning! The target is extremely dangerous. Energy level is beyond XEC level .Please run away immediately!"
The surrounding soldiers were momentarily stunned, then quickly raised their guns and pointed them at Thor. Minerva even raised her sniper rifle, ready to shoot...
"Boom—"
Damn! Your Highness is too good at pretending!
Minerva acted quickly, but Thor moved even faster, knocking the barrel of her gun away before the bullet could be fired.
Ten seconds later, Nick Fury looked at the fallen soldier with an incredulous expression, while Thor casually removed his handcuffs.
"Uh... you're really impressive..."
Thor took off the handcuffs effortlessly. "Alright, I'll go find Carol. You should rescue the Skrulls and take this cat with you."
"Hey, I..."
Before Nick Fury could protest, Thor had already vanished.
At that moment, a few Kree soldiers passed by and, upon seeing the chaotic scene, raised their guns.
"Aww..."
The orange cat in Nick Fury's arms suddenly opened its mouth wide, and several tendrils shot out, wrapping around the Kree soldiers and pulling them in.
Nick Fury watched this scene in horror, feeling like his world was collapsing...
…
Thor did not go to find Carol, as she did not need his rescue at all.
In the illusion, the Supreme Intelligence continued to suppress Carol.
"You are merely a mortal; you can't control this power at all! Without us, you are nothing!"
Carol, lost in thought, recalled her conversation with Thor the previous night—
"It is impossible for the Kree to completely trust me. They will surely betray me. At that point, I might lose all my strength in an instant."
"No, this chip is just to help you control the power in your body and make you more focused. It is not the source of your power. Remember, after that explosion, you are no longer a mortal. You must view yourself from the perspective of a mortal, not seek excuses to continue relying on the chip."
…
"Yes, I am no longer a mortal..." she murmured to herself.
The Supreme Intelligence's voice continued, "Here, you have gained a new life. Now you are the greatest Kree warrior, Vers!"
Carol struggled to rise, her face set with determination. "No, my name is Carol!"
Immense energy surged from her hands once again. This time, the energy spread throughout her entire body.
"She's breaking free!"
Outside the illusion, Colas exclaimed in surprise.
