Chapter 255: Clark vs. Captain Marvel

With anger boiling over from having his moment disturbed, Clark once again returned to his shop in the Void. As soon as he appeared, the murderous aura he emitted was so intense that Ava and Nebula instinctively backed away.

At that moment, a casual voice emanated from behind him. Despite Clark's fierce demeanor, the speaker seemed unafraid. "Wow, someone's fiery today. Did I come at a bad time, interrupting some indescribable activities of yours?"

Clark turned around abruptly and saw a white woman, or perhaps an alien who closely resembled one, around 30 years of age. She had the classic Western beauty look: shoulder-length blonde hair, a somewhat square face, and was dressed in a somewhat retro casual outfit, complete with a cap and tight jeans – a style reminiscent of Earth's 1990s.

Clark's brow furrowed slightly upon seeing her.

He could sense her strong and familiar energy vibrations without her making any attempt to conceal them.

Sub-God level!

No wonder she was so bold. She indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

Sub-God level?

How amusing!

Just because she's a Sub-God level being, does that mean she can swagger into Clark's territory and disrupt things?

Just because she's a Sub-God level being, does that mean she can interrupt others' moments of joy?

So what if she's at Sub-God level?

Feeling extremely irked, Clark still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and politely commented, "This lady, despite your age, you still exude a pure and untainted aura, which is indeed admirable. However, to sully someone else's reputation with such baseless accusations is where you're wrong."

+6666 Impression Points from Carol Danvers!

Carol Danvers?

That name sounds familiar…

Before Clark could ponder where he had heard the name, Carol's eyebrows twitched slightly in displeasure and she said, "From your seemingly respectful words, am I to understand that you are elegantly insinuating that I am an old maid?"

Maintaining his gentlemanly smile, Clark responded, "You're indeed sharp-witted. I'm impressed."

+6666 Impression Points from Carol Danvers!

Looking at Clark, who resembled a sunny young man, Carol said with an odd expression, "I've encountered many people during my years in the universe, but you are the first to insult someone so politely and refreshingly."

Clark immediately feigned surprise and humbly said, "Auntie, you flatter me. I'll continue to work hard."

Carol now truly wanted to blast this shameless man in the face with an energy cannon!

But this impulse was fleeting. The seasoned Sub-God level beauty soon regained her composure, her face wearing a mocking smile as she said with interest, "You're so eager to provoke me. Is it because I guessed right that before receiving that message, you really were…"

Such a thing, of course, Clark could never admit, especially not in front of Ava!

Realizing Carol had guessed his intention to divert the topic and even to provoke a fight, Clark no longer hid his intentions. He conjured a portal to the abandoned planet Morag and said to Carol, "Since Auntie has come looking for trouble, let's not waste words. Do you dare to join me on this abandoned planet for a thrilling battle?"

Seeing Clark's eagerness for battle, Carol's smile grew even wider.

Seeing this, Clark continued to taunt her, "What's wrong? The renowned Captain Marvel is afraid to face a challenge?"

After the verbal duel, Clark had pieced together her identity with his past memories.

But so what if she's Captain Marvel?

When faced with a great master, should one not seize the opportunity?

Let's fight first!

Eager to test his current strength and to avoid lingering on that awkward topic, Clark stepped into the portal without giving Carol any chance to object.

Carol, intrigued, followed suit into the portal.

As the two great masters left through the portal, which then closed behind them, Ava and Nebula turned their attention to Sif, whom Clark had brought from Asgard to Earth, and now to this place.

Seeing their curious looks, Sif introduced herself, "I'm Sif from Asgard, now following Prince Clark. I've met Ava, but who might you be?"

Nebula replied, "I'm Nebula, a captive..."

…

Back at the portal, Clark and Carol stood ten meters apart, exuding powerful auras that sent nearby creatures scurrying away, creating a vacuum around them.

Clark spoke with a calm smile, "To have the famous Captain Marvel visit, to what do I owe the honor?"

Carol, now dressed in her red and blue battle suit with a prominent gold eight-pointed star on her chest, said, "I did have something to discuss, but after meeting you, I've changed my mind." Her body then shone with a brilliant golden light, "Now, I'm more interested in teaching you, a scoundrel, a lesson!"

Unfazed, Clark retorted, "Many have wanted to teach me a lesson. What makes you think you're any different?"

His casual outfit transformed into his standard battle gear: a vibranium suit, skywalker boots, and the Resurrection Gauntlet, set with two Infinity Stones.

Seeing Clark ready for battle, Carol didn't hesitate. Her fists glowed brightly, and she unleashed a powerful energy beam towards Clark's chest.

"Bring it on!" Clark countered with a punch that sent a shockwave colliding with Carol's beam, causing a massive explosion and creating a huge crater around them.

From this clash, Clark realized that Carol's internal energy was even more profound than his!

A seasoned Sub-God level warrior, indeed not to be underestimated!

To counter her energy-based attacks, Clark closed in, breaking through the blast and aiming a punch at Carol's face.

Clark had gauged Carol's capabilities, but she hadn't fully grasped his.

This wasn't due to a lack of observational skills on Carol's part. During their exchange, Clark had cleverly used her energy against her, making it difficult to assess his power level.

All Carol knew was that Clark, like her, was a Sub-God level master. How powerful he truly was remained unclear.

Undeterred, Carol prepared for more attacks. As Clark approached, she readied herself for a close combat.

However, this played into Clark's hands.

While both possessed superhuman strength, speed, endurance, agility, and resilience, and could absorb cosmic energy, Clark's martial arts skills were far superior to Carol's.

In terms of pure fighting skills, Carol wouldn't even match the warrior whom Clark had once defeated instantly!

The balance of victory was tipping in Clark's favor.

Within seconds of their melee, Clark exploited a gap in Carol's defenses and landed a heavy punch on her torso.

But Carol, the mightiest Avenger, was far from defeated. She was sent flying, demolishing buildings and crashing meters deep into the ground before stabilizing herself.

The next moment, she rose from the ground with a burst of energy, ready to fight.

Hovering in the air, Carol's fists glowed brightly, "Kid, you're good. But be careful, my next attack could seriously hurt you."

Clark, finger poised like a sword with sword energy ready at his fingertip, responded

"The same warning goes to you."

The next moment, both charged at each other again.

Both Clark and Carol were gathering energy, but neither released it yet. They had abandoned any notion of holding back. With neither likely to be instantly defeated, it was time to overpower the opponent first.

Just as a serious injury seemed inevitable in this clash of titans, a blinding beam of light shot down from the void, landing right between them. Accompanied by a sharp command that rang in both their ears, "Stop!"

The sudden intervention brought an abrupt halt to their intense battle. The identity of the newcomer, who had the power to interrupt such a formidable fight, remained a mystery. The intensity of the situation had reached a peak, with Clark and Carol pausing, each waiting to see what would unfold next in this unexpected turn of events.
