Captain Marvel Appears

Talos yelled, trying to stop Xia Yu, but it was clearly too late. As Xia Yu pressed the button, the logo on Captain Marvel's chest appeared on the pager's screen.

Talos's hand stopped a hand's width away from the pager; the display showed the logo and the message "sent successfully."

"Damn it, Nick Fury will kill me, how did you know that?" Talos withdrew his hand, stood up, and complained.

"Why are you in such a hurry? This pager was originally for Nick's emergency use, but given the current situation, I don't think Captain Marvel will come back. Nick's call is more likely to come soon."

Xia Yu tossed the pager onto the table, leaned back in his chair, and stared intently at Talos.

"I'm curious, what methods did Nick use to keep you on Earth working for him? And, change back to your original forms, Talos."

Xia Yu was indeed very curious as he watched Talos slowly transform from Nick Fury's image into a Skrulls.

The universe is vast and full of wonders. The ability to completely replicate someone else's genes is such an incredible feat that it's no wonder the Kree were so determined to exterminate them.

Only someone very familiar with the person can tell from some subtle movements; otherwise, who could?

Just as Talos transformed, Xia Yu's phone rang.

An unknown set of numbers.

"Nick, you're a little slower than I expected. I'm wondering if you were the one who came to my grandfather's studio and had tea with me back then."

Xia Yu answered the phone without hesitation and started talking. He wasn't surprised that Nick Fury was calling him directly. This suspicious man had allowed a Talos to be transformed into his own image and left on Earth.

It would be strange if Nick didn't have a few of his own people keeping an eye on things.

It's likely that everything on Earth, even Talos's every move, is under Nick Fury's control.

"Xia, you really surprised me. I'm also wondering how you figured it out."

Nick Fury was genuinely terrified. At Captain Marvel's request, he had secretly come to space to establish S.W.O.R.D.., a secret known to no more than three people besides Captain Marvel. These three were Nick's most trusted confidants and would never betray him.

"Everyone has their secrets, Nick. If it were the old you, I could tell you, but now, tell me, should I still trust you?"

Although Xia Yu, having seen the movie, was absolutely certain of Nick Fury's role and that he posed no threat to himself or the Avengers, the feeling of being deceived was still extremely unpleasant.

"We are not enemies, Xia. We share the same goal. There are many troubles in the universe that could potentially threaten Earth."

Nick Fury said solemnly.

"Alright, Nick, you're trotting out the same old clichés again. Since we share the same goal, what can't you tell us? Now that I've exposed you, you're bringing up world security issues again. Believe me, Nick, I understand the threats in the universe better than you do. I even know exactly what the future threats to Earth are, or rather, who they are?"

"We're all doing the same thing, so why can't we be open and honest? You've set up an S.W.O.R.D. in the universe, with Agent Hill and a bunch of Skrulls under your command, so you think you know more than us country bumpkins from Earth?"

Thinking he knows a lot and controls everything, secretly manipulating things and believing he can save the world— Xia Yu has seen this kind of behavior in the Ancient One, and Nick Fury is also like this, but for some reason, Xia Yu feels very uncomfortable about it.

This stems from a deep-seated aversion to others who feign profundity in front of one's omniscient, God- like perspective.

Nick Fury fell silent. He didn't know how much Xia Yu knew, or what he knew at all.

However, judging from Xia Yu's performance and the information revealed in his words, he has indeed surpassed his predecessor.

"Xia, I think we need to have a serious talk."

Nick Fury lowered his stance.

"I'm waiting for you to return to Earth, as soon as possible, or I'll go and destroy your ugly space station base."

Xia Yu hung up the phone after speaking.

The last sentence was his guess. Based on the content of the comic, the S.W.O.R.D. was a place similar to a huge space station, and Xia Yu thought it shouldn't be too different.

This is an unknown star system. At least, this star system is not on the star map that Xia Yu obtained from the universe. It is a new star system that Captain Marvel discovered decades ago when she led the Skrulls through a hidden wormhole.

An undeveloped area suitable for life to live in.

Nick Fury, or rather, the S.W.O.R.D., is currently in this starry sky.

The film only briefly touches on many aspects of the universe.

For example, the Kree, Xandar, and so on. In fact, a cosmic empire can span several star systems and thousands or even tens of thousands of civilized planets.

Just like the Skrulls who fled back then, they don't appear in many places on Earth, but they are actually a huge ethnic group.

Captain Marvel has spent the last few years in the universe helping space refugees and immigrants.

Some nomadic groups whose civilizations were destroyed by the Kree.

Primarily the Skrulls and various civilizations and ethnic groups within the vast territory of their former empire.

These people all sought refuge under Captain Marvel, but Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, was merely a warrior and not skilled in management, so she turned to Nick Fury.

They assembled a team led by Nick Fury and Captain Marvel, with Skrulls as support.

At this moment, Nick Fury is in the huge S.W.O.R.D.., in a large, independent office with a direct view of the starry sky outside.

Xia Yu had just hung up the phone when his last words plunged Nick Fury into deep thought.

When Xia Yu pressed that button, Nick realized something was wrong, but instead of contacting Talos directly, he contacted another trusted subordinate.

This is a nail he planted on Earth, monitoring Talos's every move to prevent him from doing anything that would harm the Earth's interests.

When the other party told him that Xia Yu went directly to the Helicarrier and met with Talos alone, Nick Fury felt that they might have been exposed.

After careful consideration, I still think it's best to contact Xia Yu directly.

Little did anyone know, Xia Yu knew more than he had imagined.

Nick Fury was silent for a moment before asking the person next to him.

"What do you think, Carol? He even knows about our base."

"If I have the chance, I'd really like to go to Earth and meet this amazing Xia Yu."

The person next to Nick turned around and swished their chair.

It was Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.
