Ch. 309 The Death of Captain Marvel
🕑 Added 2024-02-29 16:00:16 +0000 UTCCaptain Marvel, Carol Danvers, although Nick Fury's strongest card, unfortunately, had been away from Earth for too long.
If she hadn't left Earth and had stayed there, with her power, she might have encountered the reclusive big shots early on and realized that Earth was not as weak as she had imagined.
Captain Marvel chose to protect the Skrulls instead of staying on Earth to protect ordinary people.
This was one of the reasons Russell didn't like Captain Marvel, Carol.
The Skrulls were indeed pitiful, nearly wiped out by the Kree Empire.
But no matter what, the Skrulls were aliens.
Leaving aside the Earthlings of the same race, it was pure madness for them to run off to the universe as so-called peacekeepers.
Moreover, the grudges between the Skrulls and the Kree had lasted for thousands or even tens of thousands of years in the development of their two civilizations.
To put it bluntly, this was a personal grudge between two races, with no connection to Earth whatsoever.
If you had to find a connection, it was that the Skrulls came to Earth to find their own people, and the Space Stone just happened to be on the same ship as their people.
Russell saw the undisguised murderous intent and hatred on Captain Marvel's face, but he had no intention of stopping.
Since he had come here, it was destined that only one of them could survive between him and Captain Marvel.
Although Captain Marvel hadn't offended him before, he still had no intention of sparing her.
From the perspective of an ordinary person, Captain Marvel hadn't done anything wrong.
But the problem wasn't whether Captain Marvel had done anything wrong; it was that she had chosen to stand with S.H.I.E.L.D.
As long as she chose S.H.I.E.L.D., for Russell, she was a potential threat that needed to be eliminated.
Russell didn't want a situation where he would hesitate and, as a result, put Kara, Gwen, and others in danger due to his soft-heartedness.
As the actual head of the Justice League, he had an obligation to eliminate potential threats to the safety of Justice League members ahead of time.
Like Captain Marvel and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although Captain Marvel was currently unable to withstand Russell's spear techniques and could only do her best to dodge, with time passing, she finally received support from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Captain America, Steve Rogers, and Hawkeye, among others, finally arrived.
As soon as they set foot in the massive explosion pit created by Captain Marvel's energy burst, Captain America, Steve Rogers, began commanding the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had arrived with him to launch a remote attack on Russell.
In the blink of an eye, various types of bullets and shells were raining down on Russell.
In addition to the remote attacks from the ground forces, several S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjets in the sky above Russell aimed at him as he attacked Captain Marvel.
Although both Russell and Captain Marvel had speeds far beyond those of ordinary people, they were not currently using their full speed.
Captain Marvel didn't unleash her full speed because Russell didn't give her the opportunity to do so.
As soon as she showed signs of full-speed retreat, the Sacred Spear in Russell's hand would attack her vital points, forcing her to abandon the idea of retreating.
Russell didn't fully utilize his super speed for a simpler reason: he didn't want to kill Captain Marvel so quickly.
The spear techniques had a total of seven routines, comprising a total of 223 moves.
He hadn't even completed half of the moves of the spear techniques, so it was impossible for him to kill Captain Marvel so quickly.
As for the remote attacks from Captain America and the others, he had anticipated them long ago.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion was less than a kilometer away.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't support Captain Marvel even in this situation, it could only mean that Nick Fury had lost his mind and was planning to completely abandon Captain Marvel.
When Captain America, Steve Rogers, commanded the ground forces and the Quinjets in the air to open fire on him, Russell had no hesitation. He once again used the divine sun power technique transformed by magic.
Sun Halo!
In an instant, Russell's body radiated a dazzling halo of the sun.
At the same time, the scorching sun halo spread out within hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, as if a sun had appeared out of thin air, completely covering the surrounding area for hundreds of meters.
As the Sun Halo was cast, the brightness and temperature in the surroundings began to exponentially increase.
The blinding sunlight first made it impossible for Captain America and the others to see Russell's figure.
Then, the exponentially rising temperature made them feel the painful scorching sensation as if they had fallen into molten lava while within the Sun Halo.
Moreover, when the scorching light of the Sun Halo enveloped the surroundings, the bullets and shells approaching Russell from all sides began to visibly melt and explode.
The smaller bullets melted into molten iron as they flew to within tens of meters of Russell.
As for the shells that flew towards him, when they were only a few tens of meters away from him, they inexplicably detonated prematurely, as if they had hit an invisible but real obstacle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the successive explosions, Russell did not forget to continue his attacks on Captain Marvel.
The golden Sacred Spear repeatedly stabbed Captain Marvel, adding new wounds to her already battered body.
However, this was not the worst thing for Captain Marvel.
As the nearest enemy to Russell, she experienced the full power of the Sun Halo without reservation.
Her long hair, which had been flying freely and wrapped in Binary energy, seemed to lose its vitality and calmed down, burning under the high-temperature effect of the Sun Halo.
Furthermore, the wounds on her body that had been pierced by the Sacred Spear began to emit a sizzling sound like barbecue, and the intense burning sensation spread throughout her body through the large and small wounds.
However, the most troublesome thing was that the purifying effect of the Sun Halo dispelled the Binary energy that covered her body.
These shining Binary energies melted at a visible rate as if they had encountered hot boiling water.
At this point, Captain Marvel had fully realized the enormous gap between herself and Russell.
However, it was all too late.
If she had known earlier that Russell's power was so astonishing, when Nick Fury asked her to challenge Diana, she would not have agreed so easily, nor would she have supported Nick Fury's subsequent actions against the Justice League.
But unfortunately, there has never been a cure for regrets.
When the protective Binary energy around her body was completely dissipated by the purifying effect of the Sun Halo, Captain Marvel knew that she probably wouldn't be able to leave this place alive.
Without the protection of Binary energy, the full power of the Sun Halo descended upon her. Her skin began to turn black, and her uniform started to burn under the high-temperature effect.
When Russell executed the Sun Halo, a move that could fully unleash the divine sun power, Captain Marvel's fate was sealed.
As Captain Marvel became increasingly sluggish due to the power of the Sun Halo, Russell didn't hesitate and pushed the spearhead forward.
The golden Sacred Spear, attacked Captain Marvel with incredible power, arriving in front of her.
Swoosh!
Without the protection of Binary energy, and more importantly, Russell didn't stop like he did before.
With a faint piercing sound, the Sacred Spear, resembling concentrated sunlight, pierced directly through Captain Marvel's heart, exiting from her back.
It was over!
Although Captain Marvel had a physique far superior to that of an ordinary person, she was still a living being. After her vital organs, including her brain and heart, were hit, she would die.
After piercing Captain Marvel's heart with the Sacred Spear, Russell released his grip on the spear, spread his arms, and executed one final attack.
Sun Flare!
A massive ball of light surrounded by countless sacred flames appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping Captain Marvel, who had been pierced by the Sacred Spear.
As the Sun Flare engulfed Captain Marvel, her body rapidly disintegrated, her flesh and blood ignited, and her soul began to undergo "purification."
Although Sun Flare was a wide-range attack, Russell had no intention of leaving when facing Captain Marvel. He had summoned the Sun Flare himself, and there was no way he could be accidentally harmed by it.
What's more, the divine sun power within him, which was extremely dominant to other life forms, was the source of Sun Flare.
The immensely powerful Sun Flare didn't last for long. After two or three seconds, the Sun Flare that had engulfed Captain Marvel began to dissipate.
With the dissipation of the Sun Flare, the Sun Halo also disappeared.
After killing Captain Marvel, Russell no longer needed to maintain the existence of the Sun Halo. Even if Captain America and the others attacked him now, it was impossible to harm him, given that he was wearing Sacred Armor and had Kryptonian physiology.
Moreover, Captain America and the others might not have the time to deal with him at this moment. Although the power of the Sun Halo decreased with distance, it was still not something Captain America and the others, who did not have particularly robust physiques, could easily resist while on the outskirts of the Sun Halo.
As Russell had predicted, Captain America and the others did not launch a new attack on him until the effects of the Sun Flare and the Sun Halo had completely disappeared.
First, he looked at the spot where Captain Marvel had stood, confirming that she had been completely killed by the Sun Flare without leaving any trace. Then he turned to Captain America and the others.
At this moment, Captain America and the others were lying on the ground in a miserable state, bearing obvious burn marks on their bodies.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who hadn't managed to escape the range of the Sun Halo had now turned into burnt corpses.
After casually glancing at Captain America and the others, he no longer paid them any attention and looked towards the Triskelion in the distance.
It was time to bring this chapter to a close!
With a thought, Russell, who stood in the explosion pit, flew towards the Triskelion like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in the director's office where Nick Fury was located.
"This time, S.H.I.E.L.D. admits defeat. How would you like to be compensated?" Upon seeing Russell's arrival, Nick Fury remained calm and said.
"I can have the authorities restore your reputation with the Justice League, and I can also return the assets that were previously seized by the authorities to the Justice League."
"Octopus Monster Industries wants to continue as a supplier to the military, and I can arrange that for you."
"If that's not enough, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources and personnel can also be partially allocated to you, including the new generation helicarriers that are currently under construction."
Russell remained silent and ignored Nick Fury. He walked over to the liquor cabinet and examined the collection inside, picking out a bottle that suited his taste.
Then, he took a glass, sat down on the sofa, and poured himself a drink.
Nick Fury did not stop him. When Russell had settled down, Nick Fury calmly sat across from him, waiting for his response.
Russell poured himself a drink, took a sip, and then slowly said, "You know, I had originally planned to spare S.H.I.E.L.D."
"As long as you didn't provoke me, I didn't mind whether you existed or not."
"But unfortunately, you didn't cherish that opportunity."
Russell spoke calmly.
"The mission of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to protect world peace, and your actions have seriously crossed the line. It's only normal for S.H.I.E.L.D. to take action against you and the Justice League," Nick Fury replied.
"If we did nothing, then we..."
Nick Fury didn't finish his sentence. A finger-thick golden beam had already struck his head.
Bang!
After being hit by the divine sun power, Nick Fury's head exploded like a watermelon dropped from a great height.
Watching Nick Fury's headless corpse, Russell finished the whiskey in his glass.
Then, he approached Nick Fury's desk.
From his system space, he took out a small silver-white device and placed it on the desk.
"No. 3, get to work."
"Of course, sir!"
The voice of No. 3 came from the silver-white device.
Killing Nick Fury and Captain Marvel had been Russell's decision from the very beginning. Regardless of what compensation Nick Fury offered, he had no intention of sparing him.
In addition, he planned to fulfill the responsibility that should have been carried out by Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow.
Upload S.H.I.E.L.D.'s classified files to the internet!
In the cinematic universe, this was what Captain America and the others should have done when they stopped Project Insight.
But now, because Russell himself was the owner of Project Insight, and he had no interest in the so-called Insight program, he had no intention of using it.
Although No. 3 algorithm could predict a person's future tendencies to some extent, this level of algorithm was meaningless to him.
Furthermore, the three helicarriers had no use for him. Unless those three helicarriers had the ability to travel in space, he saw no reason to keep them.
After No. 3 began hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s classified database, Russell left the office, used his heat vision to pierce through the hidden garage door submerged underwater, and entered the Insight Helicarrier Hangar.
As soon as he entered the Insight Helicarrier Hangar, he saw the three helicarriers that were not yet fully completed.
Then, his eyes emitted laser-like heat vision.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Without much effort, he completely destroyed the helicarriers in the hangar.
As for the Quinjets parked in other areas, he simply ignored them.
After destroying the helicarriers, he returned to Nick Fury's office and sat down in the chair that originally belonged to Nick Fury.
