The most ridiculous part was...
A psychic force was trying to invade his mind!
Although it was blocked by the Sheep Talisman, that psychic force was extremely strong. If it were to attempt a "brute force entry," it could still read his thoughts!
"Please don't worry, host. Your soul is where the system resides and won't be invaded by any external force!"
Vex let out a breath of relief.
He then used the Sheep Talisman to extend psychic protection around Kara.<...
S.H.I.E.L.D. and General Zod once again lost track of the three.
Flying north, the trio landed on an iceberg in the Arctic.
The Kryptonian ship that brought Clark to Earth was hidden here.
Clark bringing him to this place clearly showed trust—or maybe it was an expression of sincerity to make up for earlier suspicions.
But regardless...
Vex looked at the Kryptonian ship, feeling a surge of excitement!
If he could somehow claim this ship, the rewards...
Before anyone could react...
Zzzzzzzzz—
All devices capable of external output emitted a sharp, grating electromagnetic noise. It was unbearable.
At the same time, every electronic device around the world went haywire, sputtering with distorted electronic tones.
"My planet... is far... from Earth..."
"We journeyed across vast distances... delayed by the Phantom Zone... to finally arrive here..."
"Your planet... harbors one of our citizens..."
Vex was a little intrigued.
As for the 084 objects… those are the items S.H.I.E.L.D. categorizes as "unidentified."
For instance, Thor’s Hammer was once classified as an 084 object.
Before long, the two arrived at an underground chamber, tightly guarded, where only two giant stones, one black and one white, were encased in transparent display cabinets. At first glance, they appeared quite ordinary.
“These two stones might look normal, but…” Coulson began...
【"The King's Treasure" requires a large number of weapons to fully unleash its power!】
Hmm... That explanation makes sense.
I've been too focused on messing around and haven’t properly studied the system yet.
Vex clicked on Lewis' name.

Wife: Daisy Lewis;
Rating: [F]
Ability: "Body Enhancement"

A 7x enhancement is an [F]? Then...
He clicked on Sharon's name next.
---
Wife: Sharon Carter;
<...
"Agent Carter, continue with your mission. Do as he says."
Sharon pressed her lips together, not responding immediately.
She had thought it was just about sacrificing some of her beauty...
How did it turn into giving her whole self away?
"Sharon Carter! Don't forget your identity!" Fury said, with a heavier tone. "Also, this is at Peggy Carter's request."
Sharon let go of her lips and sighed.
"I understand," she said seriously. "Even though you didn...
Considering it’s one of the center of western comics, it's not surprising to encounter all sorts of advanced technologies.
But...
He didn’t have any actual formula.
"The production of KW89 isn’t limited by the manufacturing process, but by the raw materials," Vex casually said. "Its main ingredient is the peel of the Devil Fruit, which can only be found in small quantities in the Grand Line. Do you have that on Earth?"
Fury didn’t even need to search; he kn...
High above, a sonic boom cloud was left behind—courtesy of Kara.
Both Vex and Kara started their race at an equal pace, flying side by side.
"How are you flying without any sonic boom?" Kara asked curiously.
"It's a natural ability. I can't explain it," Vex replied. "You fly using your bio-field, but mine is something different. You wouldn't be able to learn it."
Kara nodded in understanding.
"The race is too short. I'm going to speed up!" Kara declared.
In the sky, Vex stood inside the Quinjet's cabin, watching the speedboats leave.
"You're just letting them go?" Natasha asked.
"Yeah, that green-eyed girl clearly has a thing for you." Lewis added with a bit of regret.
Natasha glanced at Lewis, deep in thought. Green eyes? Lewis had never interacted with Blink before, so she must have noticed them purely with her enhanced vision. Her evaluation of the KW89 Enhancement Serum rose even further.
While the two women ha...
Chicken Talisman
Lewis was excited, itching to try it out!
"I feel like this height is no problem for me to jump down from!"
"I advise you not to," Natasha warned.
"Huh? Why?"
"Because... there’s the sea below."
Darcy's face froze.
She...
couldn’t swim
---
Vex flew through the sky.
With his powerful eyesight, he easily spotted the speedboats below, which were closing in on their target in the vast ocean.
Even though Vex knew he could "take advantage" of Natasha at any time, he remained calm.
However!
As one of the most popular heroines in the Avengers, Natasha’s leap off the soul cliff had once moved Vex deeply.
Just letting her go like that and "giving her to someone else" was something Vex could not accept.
This left him feeling conflicted.
Therefore...
He decided to keep her by his side for now and figure things out later.
In...
Although she was very interested in the KW89 Strengthening Serum, Natasha didn't lose focus.
"I believe the director will be very interested in this deal." Natasha smiled. "But for now, we should get going. There's a runaway princess waiting for her prince to arrive."
Vex nodded.
Activating the Rabbit Talisman, he devoured the entire table of food in an instant—it was all Lewis' favorite dishes!
He then carried Lewis in a princess hold and walked outside....
Let's give it a try!
First, Vex stored the [Body Enhancement Serum KW89] into the [Treasures of Kings], specifically the [Golden City].
Then, he retrieved the [Body Enhancement Serum KW89] from the [Golden City] using the [Treasures of Kings].
One gulp!
“Tsk tsk! Sour and sweet, kind of tastes like a probiotic drink.”
There wasn’t any intense pain or the cliché of expelling impurities. Vex just felt warm all over, and so comfortable that he yawned.
Who knew that after all that bluffing, there would actually be some benefits!
As for the so-called "Dark Forest Theory"...
Even if Earth broadcasts countless signals, Asgard is protecting it, and Earth also has the Supreme Sorcerer, the Ancient One, watching over it.
In one word: mess around as much as you want
Vex appeared in front of Natasha.
"Your S.H.I.E.L.D. must have a lot of powerful weapons, right?" Vex said with a grin.
Natasha's ...
"This 'Dark Forest Theory'…"
It's terrifying, isn't it?
Whether it's for Natasha, who's dedicated to defending Earth, or Jane, who's a physicist researching astrophysics, it sent chills down their spines.
Several seconds passed before Natasha regained her composure and asked, suppressing her emotions:
"So, does your arrival mean… you're going to fire that shot?"
"We, in the M78 Nebula, are just a small group. We don't need that many resources." Vex ...
"No problem!"
He handed a card to Vex.
"Anonymous bank card, $100,000, the password is six zeros." After a pause, he added, "I'll deposit another $2 million later."
$2.1 million in exchange for Vex's help.
Barton still felt like he was getting a bargain.
After all...
It was practically a life-saving deal!
Vex accepted the card, nodded, and walked away.
For someone with abilities, making money was this easy.
Returning to the...
“Hello, can you give me this compound bow?” Vex asked directly. “In return, I can heal your hidden injuries.”
Every agent undergoes intense training, and hidden injuries are inevitable. Modern technology struggles to heal them, but for the [Horse Talisman], it's just a touch.
Vex had previously healed Sif and the others, so Barton had seen it firsthand. Without hesitation, he handed over the compound bow.
Vex took it and waited a few seconds.
No rea...
A sonic boom echoed through the air.
In the distance, several kilometers away, a shadow shot into the sky, speeding straight in this direction.
Vex clenched his right hand, but then...
---
Vex clenched his right hand, but it was Lewis, hugging him out of fear.
Jane also instinctively leaned towards him.
Without hesitation, Vex placed his hand on her shoulder and pulled her behind him.
As all this was happening, Thor grabbed Mjölnir, raised ...
Got it.
As for Jane and Thor?
Since they’ll break up later anyway, might as well skip the middle part.
"I’ll take care of this."
Vex let go of the slightly shaky Lewis and handed her over to Jane.
—The earlier surprise attack had drained all her courage.
Vex activated the [Rabbit Talisman] and quickly got in front of Thor, catching the Destroyer’s iron fist with one hand.

A meteor descends from the sky and crashes into an abandoned villa.
In the crater,
An unharmed Vex looks around, bewildered.
He had just been watching a meteor shower and made a wish for a more exciting life, but then a meteor suddenly took a sharp turn and whisked him away!
What is going on now?

A day passed after the battle with Maximus. Andrew was busy healing the affected metahumans all over New York and the neighboring states since apparently, the Terrigen Bomb was strong enough to spread that far.
He isn't doing any movement regarding the little problem called Maximus since the guy is just right there at a S.H.I.E.L.D facility, being jailed, waiting for his trial. But Magneto had already talked to him about ...

The whole group gathered in the Avengers Tower, exhausted from the intense battle they had just fought.

Maximus, seeing the Avengers and Inhumans poised for battle, smirked as he reached for his Atmo-Gun, a powerful weapon that could manipulate the weather and atmosphere itself. With a wicked grin, he aimed the gun at the sky and fired a beam of energy that created a massive storm cloud above the battlefield.
The sky turned dark as thunder roared and lightning crackled across the sky. The winds picked up, blowing dust and de...

The air crackled with anticipation as the battlefield lay in ruins, bearing the scars of the intense battles that had unfolded. The ground slightly trembling beneath their feet, bearing witness to the raw power that had been unleashed. Cracked pavements, smoldering debris, and scattered remnants of shattered structures painted a picture of the chaos that had ensued.
The once serene landscape had been transformed into a war...

From my vantage point at the Triskelion, S.H.I.E.L.D Headquarters, I watched the devastating display of power unleashed by Black Bolt. As the shockwaves reverberated through the air and the ground trembled beneath me, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of awe and trepidation. It was a chilling reminder of the immense capabilities possessed by the extraordinary individuals we encountered in this ever-expanding world.

He deftly dodged the monster's massive fists, effortlessly evading each bone-shattering blow. His movements were a testament to his mastery of combat and his trust in the technology that enveloped him.

"Die."
The word lingered in the air, carrying an invisible charge that seemed to ripple through the very fabric of reality. Time itself appeared to hold its breath, as if bracing for the impending cataclysm. A sudden silence enveloped the battlefield, broken only by the sound of the monster's rapid descent.
Then, in an explosive burst of raw power, Black Bolt's attack finally kicked in, setting free a devastating shockwave...

House of Andrew.
Inside his room.
Space itself seemed to warp and contort, as if bending to the will of an unseen force. A small rift materialized, appearing as a mere pinprick in thin air.
Slowly, the rift expanded, accompanied by the disintegration of the surrounding space. Crackling and shattering, the phenomenon settled into a sizable portal, roughly two diameters in width.
