Ch. 307 Russell vs Captain Marvel
🕑 Added 2024-02-27 16:00:04 +0000 UTCWashington, D.C.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion Headquarters.
After calming down a somewhat displeased Diana and Kara, Russell used his teleportation magic to arrive on the bridge leading to the Triskelion Headquarters.
This bridge was the main pathway to the Triskelion Headquarters and the most important one.
The Justice League had already declared war officially through a press conference with S.H.I.E.L.D., and Russell had no intention of wasting any more time.
In any case, it would have to be resolved sooner or later, so why not today?
He had barely stepped out of the teleportation portal when the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents noticed his arrival.
Soon, a fully armed squad of S.H.I.E.L.D. special forces stood in his way, their weapons trained on him.
"I don't want to kill you; bring out Nick Fury," Russell said calmly.
Although he was clear in his demand, it was evident that these special forces members blocking his path had no intention of yielding.
Not only that, but they were also prepared to open fire at any moment.
Seeing their actions, Russell shook his head disdainfully.
At a time like this, these special forces members still thought they could stop him.
"Nick Fury, I'll say it one more time, come out to meet me."
Russell activated his Divine Sun Power slightly, allowing his voice to reach the ears of everyone inside the Triskelion Headquarters.
However, even so, Nick Fury, who was in the Director's office at the Triskelion Headquarters, showed no intention of making an appearance.
With his Kryptonian physiology granting him superhuman vision, Russell could clearly see Nick Fury standing by the office's floor-to-ceiling window.
Although Nick Fury had no intention of showing himself, Captain Marvel, the most powerful member of S.H.I.E.L.D. now, descended from the sky, radiating a brilliant light, and arrived before him.
With Captain Marvel's appearance, other heroes like Captain America, Hawkeye, and Falcon also came into view.
"You are not welcome here; leave immediately!" Carol said in a cold tone as she landed in front of Russell.
In the comics, Captain Marvel is portrayed as a tall and beautiful female superhero. However, the Captain Marvel standing before Russell now was an older woman.
Her physique was average, and her appearance was plain, nothing like the image from the comics.
"Are you Captain Marvel, Nick Fury's trump card? Step aside; you are not my match."
Although Captain Marvel exuded an intimidating aura, Russell's expression remained unchanged.
Captain Marvel was indeed powerful, but unfortunately, her strength did not reach the level of a Skyfathers. As long as she wasn't on a Skyfathers level, Russell had no reason to worry.
The reason was simple: with his Kryptonian physiology, Divine Sun Power, and Divine Thunder Power, he had absolute confidence in himself.
"No wonder Fury described you as arrogant; you really are..." Captain Marvel didn't finish her sentence before Russell teleported right in front of her.
Furthermore, his entire body was enveloped in the Binary energy, and he grabbed her by the neck.
"Arrogant? I don't think so!" Russell's right hand moved forcefully.
If it were an ordinary person, being grabbed like this would result in a broken neck, with no other possible outcome.
However, it was evident that Captain Marvel was not someone who could be easily killed.
As soon as Russell applied force with his right hand, he felt the Binary energyaround Captain Marvel's neck. This Binary energy acted like an unbreakable barrier, forcefully resisting his attack.
Although Captain Marvel's neck was protected by the Binary energy, Russell was not surprised.
If Captain Marvel could be killed so easily, she wouldn't be Captain Marvel.
Only after the Binary energy actively resisted Russell's attack did Captain Marvel finally react.
Seeing that Russell was trying to break her neck directly, she became even angrier, considering that she already didn't like Russell.
In an instant, she raised her right fist and launched a powerful blow toward Russell's chest.
However, her right fist, wrapped in Binary energy, had not yet struck Russell when she was sent flying backward.
Boom!
Captain Marvel was sent flying like a missile, crashing into the Triskelion Headquarters building and passing through it, flying hundreds of meters into a nearby street.
As soon as Captain Marvel showed signs of raising her right hand, Russell had guessed her intentions.
So, without her noticing, he raised his right foot and kicked Captain Marvel in the abdomen, sending her flying.
While Captain Marvel had possessed her superpowers for a long time, she was fundamentally different from other superheroes who had grown into their powers step by step.
She gained her superpowers either when she first woke up or, more accurately, when she was hit by the explosion of the lightspeed engine. As a result, her superpowers far surpassed those of others.
Compared to other superheroes, her powers came to her too effortlessly.
What's more, because she initially possessed such overwhelming power, she never saw the need to train her combat skills seriously.
Her fighting style could be summed up in one phrase: overpowering force.
Relying on her unreasonable Binary energy, her fighting style was extremely simplistic and brutal.
If she hadn't been an elite pilot before awakening her superpowers and had received some military training, her combat skills would have been no different from those of street thugs.
After kicking Captain Marvel in the abdomen, Russell didn't hesitate and quickly flew toward her.
He completely ignored Captain America, Hawkeye, and the others who were blocking his way. His body radiated a golden light like the sun, and he moved across the sky like a yellow comet at incredible speed.
Just as Captain Marvel was sent flying by Russell's kick, she wore an expression of disbelief.
She knew Russell had an incredibly powerful physique, but she hadn't expected his strength to be this overwhelming.
Even with the protection of Binary energy, she still felt intense pain in her abdomen from Russell's kick.
Furthermore, she couldn't comprehend Russell's attack speed.
She hadn't noticed Russell's attack until his right foot struck her, and then she realized what was happening.
How was this possible?
Captain Marvel Carol wasn't the rookie she had been when she first gained her powers.
Over the past two or three decades, she hadn't wasted her time; she had been fighting on other planets, protecting those she believed needed protection.
For example, the Skrulls who were almost wiped out by the Kree.
Russell had kicked her once, and she had already understood one thing.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s estimation of his strength had always been underestimated.
Although it was somewhat unexpected, Captain Marvel Carol knew that now was not the time to stand around in shock.
Just as she was about to use her Binary energy to stop her backward flight, Russell, enveloped in sunlight, instantly appeared before her.
Without giving her a chance to adjust her posture or regain her balance, Russell's right fist struck her head forcefully.
Boom!
Russell's golden fist struck Captain Marvel's head like a cannonball, causing her to crash heavily onto the ground, leaving a crater over ten meters in diameter.
Although she was protected by the Binary energy, Russell's punch had still inflicted significant damage on Captain Marvel.
After crashing onto the ground, green blood trickled from the corner of Captain Marvel's mouth.
Before she could get up, Russell's second wave of attacks arrived.
Russell's right foot slammed forcefully onto Captain Marvel's chest, and both of his hands radiated a golden light, forming a pair of gauntlets made of sunlight.
As Captain Marvel glared at him with fury in her eyes, Russell had no intention of holding back. His fists struck her like bullets fired from a Gatling gun, relentlessly pounding on Captain Marvel.
Ora ora ora ora ora...
Although this Gatling gun-style boxing was brutally straightforward, under the influence of Divine Sun Power and Kryptonian physiology, each of Russell's punches carried astonishing power.
Moreover, his punching speed had reached an incredible level that defied imagination.
His punches now, while not reaching the astonishing firing speed of a Gatling machine gun at six thousand rounds per minute, had reached a point where he could deliver over a thousand punches in a minute.
Previously, Russell didn't particularly like these ultra-high-speed battles. In these battles that far exceeded the limits of the naked eye's perception, the fights would end extremely quickly. To an ordinary person, it would seem like the battle hadn't even begun before it was over.
Furthermore, there was another crucial point: Russell had never encountered an opponent who could push him to go all out before.
Even Vanir general who had awakened speed divine powers in the Windrest Fortress hadn't pushed him to the point where he needed to go all out.
Now, he had finally met an opponent who, even if he used his full speed, didn't need to worry about the fight ending instantly.
Just five or six seconds later, Captain Marvel Carol, who was now being trampled under Russell's feet, had been struck by him hundreds of times.
Although the number of hits wasn't particularly exaggerated, every punch from Russell would cause significant damage to Captain Marvel Carol.
If it weren't for the powerful and dazzling Binary energy protecting her body, Captain Marvel Carol would have been turned into a lump of flesh by Russell, a genuine lump of flesh.
When Captain Marvel Carol was trampled to the ground by Russell, she had intended to get up immediately and defend herself.
However, to her dismay, she found that Russell's strength was even more astonishing than she had imagined.
If she couldn't get up, she couldn't mount an effective counterattack.
Captain Marvel Carol could only protect her head with her hands and silently endure Russell's fierce onslaught, like a violent storm.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Although Captain Marvel Carol had used Binary energy to protect her body, she couldn't completely negate the force of Russell's blows, causing the impact crater beneath her to grow larger and larger.
Not only that, but every time Russell threw a punch, the ground shook as if in an earthquake.
After being pummeled by Russell for hundreds of punches, Captain Marvel Carol finally couldn't take it anymore.
Since awakening her superpowers, she hadn't experienced such a frustrating battle.
Her eyes shone with a brilliant golden light, and the Binary energy protecting her body became increasingly dazzling, making her look like a supernova about to erupt.
Seeing the Binary energy on Captain Marvel Carol becoming more and more intense, Russell didn't hesitate. He used his super speed and disappeared from Captain Marvel Carol's line of sight.
Captain Marvel Carol's close combat skills were straightforward and brutal, pure power overwhelming her opponent.
Similar to her close combat skills, her energy attack methods were also straightforward and brutal, using Binary energy as projectiles or lasers.
In simpler terms, energy shockwaves.
Apart from using Binary energy as projectiles, her use of Binary energy was limited to creating energy fields to protect herself and utilizing Binary energy for high-speed flight.
As for other applications, Russell didn't know if she was too lazy to develop them or if she lacked the ability.
So, when he saw the light on Captain Marvel Carol becoming more dazzling, he immediately guessed her intentions.
She was about to unleash the full power of Binary energy!
Although his Kryptonian physiology was robust, Russell had no intention of directly facing the explosion of Binary energy.
Not to mention getting injured, he didn't have a quirk of actively enduring enemy attacks.
Just as he guessed, as soon as he left, Captain Marvel unleashed the Binary energy within her.
Boom, boom, boom!
Captain Marvel Carol, lying in the impact crater, emitted a radiant light resembling a star, and the golden Binary energy, regardless of friend or foe, swept everything around it. A golden sphere with a diameter of several hundred meters, like a sun, appeared in people's sight.
With the eruption of Binary energy, the earth began to tremble violently, and a hurricane akin to a natural disaster immediately enveloped the entire neighborhood.
Although Captain Marvel Carol's energy eruption this time was incredibly powerful, it didn't harm Russell in the slightest.
He had already retreated over a thousand meters when he sensed that Captain Marvel was about to release her energy.
Unless Captain Marvel intended to destroy the entire nearby neighborhood, he had no reason to worry about being hit.
The sun-like golden sphere of light only lasted for about five or six seconds before disappearing.
When the dazzling light faded, Captain Marvel Carol's figure appeared once again.
Compared to before, Captain Marvel Carol's appearance had undergone significant changes.
Although her uniform was still intact, her face bore clear bruises, and green blood flowed from her mouth, different from the blood of Earth humans.
Not only that, her hair, as if it had come to life, fluttered autonomously without wind.
Finally decided to get serious?
Don't be fooled by his appearance of overwhelming Captain Marvel just now; in reality, Captain Marvel wasn't powerless to fight back; she had just lost the initiative in the battle.
Captain Marvel could hold her own against Diana even without weapons!
Russell was well aware of how powerful Diana was.
