Chapter 151: Conspiracy

"By the way, for such an important ceremony, I need to inform an old friend," Thor suddenly declared, slapping his thigh.

Natalia rolled her eyes and said slyly, "...That old friend you mentioned must be a woman again, right?"

Peggy and the others looked at him with disdain.

Thor: "..."

Damn, how could the agent's intuition be so accurate?

Thor realized that he might indeed have a reputation as a womanizer.

He had many friends—most of the Avengers on Earth, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Sakaar's Grandmaster, and even Nick Fury. But at this moment, he only thought of informing Carol...

Well, it must be because she's strong and likely to be taken seriously!

"Hello? Why are you contacting me so soon? Don't you know I'm busy?"

Carol's teasing voice came through the communicator.

"Tell me, is there another supervillain to fight? Is Thanos coming again?"

Indeed, Carol's mind seemed to be set on constant combat...

Thor paused and said, "There is a new challenge, but it's one I'm handling myself. I just wanted to let you know that in three days, I will officially become the king of Asgard. Whether you come or not is up to you!"

"Roar..."

On the other side of the universe, a colossal monster hundreds of meters tall roared, its frenzied breath overwhelming the surroundings.

But this was the last roar of its life.

A hole had been pierced through its chest, and a woman bathed in golden light was walking away without a glance back.

"Boom..." The massive body crashed to the ground, sending dust and debris into the air.

Carol sighed, "It's too weak. Any Avenger could handle this easily."

"There are too few powerful beings in the universe, and most are concentrated near Earth..."

She looked helpless. Playing chess with the stinky chess basket all day was making her feel like a stagnant player again...

"Forget it, let's head to Asgard. At least there we can train and improve our skills..."

These backward planets, without the Avengers' protection, were defenseless against external threats. Carol had taken on the burden of being the space police.

But for these backward planets, most of the threats they faced were not significant.

In the next two days, Carol eliminated several threats nearby, ensuring the safety of these planets for the time being.

She visited one of the hidden planets and explained the situation.

"Go with peace of mind; we will maintain the situation here."

The leader of the Skrulls, Talos, responded with a smile, "Twenty years ago, you promised to find us a home, and you did. But you stayed on voluntarily. Everything you've done for us and these other planets has not gone unnoticed."

"The Skrulls have regained much of their strength over the years. We can protect ourselves now, and you don't have to carry the burden alone."

"Oh, and I'll send my regards to His Majesty Thor. Unfortunately, I have to oversee our internal affairs and can't be there in person."

The Skrulls were not a backward race. In fact, they possessed advanced technology. Though they nearly lost everything when they fled here, they had rebuilt their home and things had improved significantly.

Perhaps, in a few more years, the Skrulls would be able to guard this galaxy themselves, and Carol wouldn't be so occupied.

After Talos had explained everything, he flew up into the sky, glanced at the flourishing Skrulls, then turned and headed toward Asgard.

With one more day to go, she should make it in time, right?

She didn't notice a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, watching her enter the wormhole.

"She's left. The direction is likely Asgard."

In the dark space, a voice emerged, filled with frustration.

"This woman's strength is formidable and could be the deciding factor. We must prevent this."

"Send a message to the Kree... inform Yon-Rogg that the Skrull colony has been discovered!"

"He's been tracking them for years; he'll be very interested!"
