Chapter 139: Tesseract (1)

After being sad for a while, Jack got himself together and got ready to get to work. When he returned to the Marvel universe, the Infinity Stones in his body turned on again.

The power of a Kryptonian still flowed through his body, and the overwhelming strength made Jack feel slightly dizzy.

Now, he could easily fight with Thanos and even break his arm, This wasn't just a fantasy, but a reality.

With the power of the Infinity Stones, there were few in this universe who could withstand a punch from him.

He would soon beat even powerhouses like Odin and the Ancient One.

Since he had already solved the biggest threat on his body, it was time to start executing his plan: collecting the Infinity Stones. Compared to sunbathing, using stones was absolutely a faster way to become stronger.

And in the dangerous world of the Marvel universe, getting stronger was the only way to survive.

Of course, it wasn't just about becoming stronger. Jack stood on the villa's rooftop, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed his surroundings. When Jean went back, he left a ring on her that served as a marker. He left a trace of his own energy on the ring.

He thought that as long as he could feel the ring's energy signature, he could open a doorway to that universe.

The plan was good and effective. Jack soon sensed the location of the ring. However, the energy was very faint.

It slowly improved after increasing the energy input, but it was still difficult to open the portal based on this alone.

Jack knew the reason for this was the low energy in his body to support such long-distance travel through the portal. The best solution was to increase energy.

Speaking of which, it was quite simple.

The next day, in Washington D.C., at the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion.

Director Nick Fury sat behind his desk with his hands crossed in front of him, looking expressionless with his one remaining eye fixed on Jack's shoes as he sat across from him.

"So, you're here to borrow something? And Could you please put your foot down?"

"Ah... yes, I suppose I could put it that way."

Jack silently put his feet down from the desk and said, "To be precise, I'm here to take it. That thing was something Steve and I had to fight hard to grab from Red Skull, although we lost it to the sea shortly."

"I seem to have guessed what you're here for, but I'm curious how you knew that the Tesseract was in SHIELD's possession." said Nick.

"Isn't it difficult to guess? It's written in your database, isn't it?" Jack looked at Nick curiously, wondering how he could ask such a question.

Nick's expression remained unchanged, but the throbbing veins on his temple betrayed his thoughts.

'Motherfucker!'

His network security personnel had promised that SHIELD's network defense system was the most powerful in the world, and unless physical methods were used, hacking into it was almost impossible. Now that he thought about how those tech nerds looked like they were proud of themselves.

Nick took a deep breath.

"Well then..."

He looked at Jack with a serious gaze. "You should also know that Howard Stark recovered the Tesseract from the sea. Strictly speaking, it belongs to SHIELD."

"Ah~"

Jack scratched his forehead helplessly, "Why don't we make it simple? Give me the Tesseract, and what do you need in return?"

He raised his hand to stop Nick from speaking and continued.

"Don't say you can't give it to me. The only purpose I came here today was to get the Tesseract. And The only reason I'm sitting here talking to you is to keep our relationship from getting worse. After all, Peggy is still alive."

Nick's face tightened for a moment, and he realized what Jack meant.

'Because Peggy was still alive, he didn't want to use force. Otherwise...'

Thinking of the huge pit in Sokovia, which was almost a lake, unless he called Captain Marvel back, no one could stop Jack.

"In fact, you don't have to be so angry," Jack said, sensing Nick's thoughts. He suddenly softened his tone.

"Actually, you might not want to have the Tesseract. I don't think you've forgotten what happened in 1995. They were looking for the Tesseract. I can say with full responsibility that the Tesseract can attract are much more dangerous than those aliens."

Jack paused and took out a metal ball the size of a ping pong ball from his pocket, placing it on the desk.

Under Nick's gaze, the metal ball suddenly burst into a strong light, and before he could react, he found himself in the middle of space.

In space, a super large cosmic ship was freely floating through space, which in Nick's observation, could destroy the Earth dozens of times.

Wherever they went, planets were conquered, and large-scale massacres continued.

Even Nick, who thought he had seen it all, felt shivers down his spine at the bloody scene. Nick even wondered if even Captain Marvel could handle this kind of fight.

"The fleet you see now is called the Chitauri. They are the subordinates of the mad titan Thanos, operating everywhere to accomplish his mission."

At this moment, Jack's voice sounded from all around, introducing the origin of the alien ship to Nick.

The more Nick listened, the more shocked he became. Whether it was the Chitauri or the so-called mad titan Thanos, their blow on him was much greater than that of the Skrulls.

Especially when he heard that this mad titan's mission was to wipe out half of all life in the universe, even Nick, who was known for his calm, couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

'How do we fight back?'

Not to mention Thanos, just the Chitauri alone would be enough to destroy Earth. Moreover, from Jack's information, it was easy to hear that the Chitauri, who were under Thanos, were the worst of the worst.

His original army, the Black Order, could easily destroy any superpower of any civilization in the universe.

As for Earth... in their eyes, it was no different from an ancient civilization.

Even so, Nick still hoped that things would work out for him. Thanos might be unable to find Earth because the universe was so big.

Jack just laughed at him and said, "Earth is well-known not just in the Milky Way but in the whole universe. Since the Tesseract is on Earth, Thanos will come knocking on our door sooner or later."

Nick was startled "What the f*ck"
