Chapter 49: The Kree Arrival

"Nick Fury told me you used to be part of the Howling Commandos, and that guy called the Hunk?"

Carter came and sat down beside Thor, teasing him.

Thor didn't answer and inwardly scolded Captain America for his random nicknames. He asked, "So, have all your memories been restored?"

Carol nodded. "Can you tell me who you are? Your physical strength and ability to maintain a youthful appearance for so many years are beyond ordinary capabilities. Even the Captain America who received the super-soldier serum is far inferior to you."

Thor laughed. "So, you suspect that I am not from Earth? Just like Marvell? Did Nick Fury ask you to test me on purpose?"

Thor saw through Nick Fury's plan. That guy was really crafty and was questioning Thor's true identity...

After all, Dr. Lawson, a renowned scientist and executor of the "Pegasus Project," was an alien hiding on Earth. It's not unthinkable that Captain Blake might also come from another planet...

Not to mention that Thor's performance in every regard is quite extraordinary.

Although this future one-eyed fellow is very competent, Thor, who often interacts closely with top agents, preferred to avoid overthinking it.

Carol was taken aback and suddenly realized: "No wonder you came to tell me your story out of the blue. Being an agent is so sneaky!"

Thor glanced behind him and saw Nick Fury fiddling with the plane, seemingly fascinated...

Ignoring the matter of the agent, Thor patted Carol on the shoulder and asked, "The Kree are heading to Earth, which might complicate our operation. If we encounter former teammates, we might have to fight them. Are you mentally prepared?"

Carol nodded. "From the moment I learned they were the culprits, I was ready to sever ties with them. By the way..."

She looked at Thor suddenly. "The Kree will definitely have defenses against me. They probably have measures in place. So if something goes wrong, I'll leave it to you!"

Thor nodded.

If you can't fight and end up captured, I certainly...

Would just sit idly by!

...

Early in the morning, the Kree Star Troopers finally arrived on Earth.

Following the coordinates left by Carol, Yon-Rogg walked into Maria Rambeau's room, where Carol was pretending to be a Skrull scientist.

Without any surprise, Yon-Rogg revealed his true identity after a few words. After all, Skrulls can only access short-term memories.

After killing the unfortunate Skrull scientist with one shot, Yon-Rogg opened a communication line. "Skrulls have infiltrated the C-35 planet, and vers has been brainwashed by them."

Ronan on the video sneered. "My forces have arrived and will be ready soon."

An overwhelming interstellar fleet had reached the wormhole closest to Earth. Once assembled, they could launch their attack!

...

In orbit near Earth, in Marvell's laboratory, Carol and her team were slowly preparing.

"I suddenly feel that my battle suit doesn't match my hairstyle..."

Carol said to break the tense atmosphere.

Now that she had recovered her memories, it was impossible for her to wear the enemy's battle suit again. Before setting off, she had asked Thor to help her design a new suit.

Perhaps it was fate, but Carol chose the original historical look, which made Thor feel a bit disappointed.

He would have preferred something studded with jewels and sparkling...

"When this is over, should I change my hairstyle, maybe... short hair? A short cut?"

Carol sought Thor's opinion, though she might not take it.

"Farewell!" Thor shook his head. "Not everyone suits a short cut. If I had short hair, I'd be called a sunny houseboy. If you go for short hair, it's called prison trouble!"

"What on Earth are you..."

Thor managed to chat her into silence...

Meanwhile, Nick Fury nervously followed, clutching the orange cat as if only it could provide him with some sense of security.

Talos looked at Nick Fury with a fearful expression, as if ready to dig a 🪦 for him at any moment.

A square with a faint blue light appeared in view.
