Rhinitis's Back; Double the Debt / It's a Team Fight-Stop Split-Pushing!

Kevin's impromptu head pat and ear cleaning service caused Yuzuriha Inori's sensitive Yuzuriha Inori to turn red, eliciting soft "whimpering" sounds.

"Beasts!" In the dessert shop's lobby, several lone men chewed on dog food, their heads bowed in murderous jealousy, their eyes brimming with tears.

This is a rare opportunity to snatch a date, and this time we're definitely going to break through that brother-sister/friend relationship! Even though everyone else has already gotten their hands on these dates, we don't want to just be the younger sister!

Asuna and Shino Asada exchanged a glance, each understanding the other's meaning, and began to plot how to carry out their plan.

Just as the two girls were deep in thought, a loud rumble came from the ground, and another urgent news report about the approaching Ghidorah meteor was broadcast on the television in the dessert shop.

At the same time, as the shockwave hit, the dessert shop swayed slightly, the overhead lights flickered, and a brief commotion arose.

Suddenly, Asuna felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, and with incredible agility, she moved to avoid the sharp edge in the darkness.

An assassin! At the same time, sensing something was wrong through the reflection in the light, Shino Asada instinctively kicked out, aiming a kick at the wrist of the thug holding the dagger.

"Boom!"

Amidst the piercing clang of metal, the figure flew backward, crashing into rows of tables and chairs.

Shino Asada staggered back two steps, her expression changing.

Lightweight Tactical Exoskeleton! This wasn't an accident, it was premeditated!

As the dark figure made a downward reach with its right hand, Asuna and Shino Asada's pupils constricted simultaneously.

Oh no, they're about to draw their guns!

Before the two girls could even react, their bodies moved instinctively. They lunged forward, leaping like arrows, and were within a step of the man.

With lightning speed, Shino Asada threw the plate, smashing away the gun the man was about to grab.

At the same time, Asuna leaned back, dodging the man's desperate straight punch, and then slid to the side into the thug's blind spot, twisting his arms behind his back until he was dead.

The ruthless thug tried to move, but Shino Asada instinctively kicked him in the back of the knee.

Suddenly, a sickening metallic clang, mixed with the cracking sound of bones breaking, rang out. The thug who intended to commit the crime fell to his knees with a thud, screaming in Affliction.

Once the aftershocks subsided and the voltage stabilized, in the chaotic dessert shop, two pale-faced girls with menacing expressions pinned down a man dressed in a black trench coat hooded over a white bandage.

On the ground, the shattered metal debris was clearly the remains of a light Tactical Exoskeleton that had been removed.

The footprints and deformities on the metal surface sent chills down the spines of everyone present, who stared at the two delicate young girls with horrified eyes.

The men who had previously harbored ulterior motives towards the girls broke out in a cold sweat, secretly relieved that they didn't have the guts to do anything evil.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Kevin nodded to himself and slowly withdrew his right hand, which had been on guard, as the Space Authority within it quietly dissipated.

Indeed, life in the World Tree Squad not only hones one's willpower, but also one's skills.

Moreover, in the chaos just now, he vaguely saw the outline of the thing in the eyes appear on the two of them, which made Kevin completely relieved about their safety.

The man stepped forward to confront the thug, noticing the black wooden coffin tattoo with a twisted smiling face on the back of his hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Instantly, the powerful mental pressure directly destroyed the thug's mind, extracting all the information Kevin needed into his brain.

Vasak Casals, of Japanese and Latin America descent, is an assassin for a Korean-Japanese yakuza gang and has recently been hired by the Yuuki Family's business rival.

They planned to use assassination as a warning to force the Yuuki Family to make concessions in the e-commerce field.

It seems Asuna and her group have kept their secret identities well hidden. Even a South Korean conglomerate with yakuza connections dares to use assassination and intimidation tactics in Japan to attack business rivals.

"What a fool!" Kevin tossed aside the assassin, whose eyes had rolled back and who was incontinent, leaving the now-idiotic man sprawled on the ground, drooling and chuckling foolishly.

Suddenly, the man remembered the unique coffin tattoo on the back of his hand and the name Vasak Casals, and memories of this guy surfaced in his mind.

Tsk, it turns out to be PoH, the founder of Laughing Coffin from the [script]. Even without the SAO incident, he and Asuna and the others still ended up bumping into each other. Fate is truly a strange cycle.

Kevin was somewhat amused and exasperated. He simply notified the Imperial Army, which controlled Area 11, to come and clean up the mess, and also to take down that unruly Korean organization and gang.

However, while waiting for his emotions to calm down, this little incident stirred up a strong sense of unease within Kevin.

Even if the future is changed, the established history still retains its inertia...

So, will the Guardians of the Galaxy go after Thanos?

Just then, the communicator beeped, and as the channel connected, Tony, with a serious expression, spoke urgently.

"Among the meteorites just now, there was the wreckage of a spaceship that crashed north of Los Angeles..."

"The seven people who came out are still alive. They call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy and say they have important intelligence..."

Upon hearing this, Kevin's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Sure enough, the worst-case scenario has occurred!

P. S.: The plot didn't quite pick up today, so I'll take my time and add more chapters later.

Section 956 Rhinitis relapse, the dosage is doubled.

My rhinitis flared up, so I got an injection. I wanted to write something tonight, but I kept sneezing and couldn't finish the word count even after two hours. And for some reason, I have bloating and feel a bit uncomfortable; it might be related to the cold drinks and meat-filled flatbread I ate during the day. Damn, when you're sick, you should treat yourself to something good, even God won't let you off the hook...

Tragic, I've been transported to another world. I'm definitely a Lancer with E-rank luck.

However, I will pay it back. Let me take some medicine to calm myself down first.

Currently, based on weekly statistics, there are a total of 4 chapters owed.

Let's just double it, eight chapters short, I'll update it as soon as possible in a couple of days.

Well, I've been writing for quite a while now, and I've basically maintained my integrity. There have been some delays, but I haven't missed any updates yet, so please be understanding.

Chapter 915, Section 957: Team fight, don't solo carry.

In New York, North America, at the Avengers headquarters, representatives of all the Super Hero gathered together in an unusually solemn atmosphere.

Having learned a lesson from the destruction of Asgard, and with the superpowers being united through Kevin's leadership, they now have a clear understanding of the terror of Titan Star.

The intelligence brought by the Guardians of the Galaxy was even more crucial.

First, Sakaar is finished! The four Main God Level champion gladiators were defeated and captured, and the Grandmaster escaped beforehand and his whereabouts are unknown.

Moreover, the one responsible for leading the army to break through the Grandmaster's defenses was none other than Hela had previously "sacrificed" herself in Asgard.

The Asgardian Gods, who were the first to react, felt a mixture of relief and confusion upon hearing that their eldest princess was still alive.

Although Hela is not dead, she is notoriously unruly and there's no reason for her to submit to Thanos.

Moreover, the explosion of the Rainbow Bridge and the disintegration of Asgard were truly acts of mutual destruction. How could such deep-seated hatred, ingrained in the blood of the Asgard, possibly be resolved?

"The Mind Stone!"

Kevin and Doctor Strange, who knew more about the Infinity Stones, exchanged a glance and frowned deeply.

The people of Asgard suddenly realized what was happening, and were both surprised and delighted. However, Frigga and Loki, the two strategists, showed a hint of worry.

"Valkyrie, after the Titan Race army conquered Sakaar, did they kill half of the planet's inhabitants? This is very important. Please tell me without reservation!"

Kevin turned to the Valkyrie, who had seemed somewhat absent-minded since her reunion with the Asgardian God Clan, and asked her earnestly.

Valkyrie was stunned for a moment, then was secretly nudged in the back by Sif, the God of Fertility who was also female, before she came back to her senses.

It seems that Odin is asleep, Asgard is destroyed, Hela has been released from her seal and theoretically won...

This almost surreal reality greatly shocked her. Frigga looked at the last Valkyrie, a hint of pity in her eyes, and sighed helplessly.

After Kevin patiently repeated the question, Valkyrie reluctantly mustered some energy and answered seriously.

"Based on the information we gathered on our way to raid Titan Star, it seems there is no..."

"If that's the case, then it's a huge problem!"

Kevin tapped the table to quiet the noise and revealed the appearance and powers of the Infinity Stones to everyone, his expression solemn.

"If Thanos can truly use the Mind Stone to control the main gods and quasi-god-kings, then after Sakaar is conquered, we must prepare for the worst."

"Those four Main God Level fighting champions who were captured alive have most likely been brainwashed and recruited into Titan Star!"

"He even planned to use the Mind Stone's mind control abilities to turn these defeated enemies of Sakaar into cannon fodder."

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly realized the key point, and their expressions changed.

The man opened the star map and, while explaining, further refined the comparison of strength and distribution of the various small flags he had casually constructed.

"Currently, Titan Star commands six armies, each representing the cream of the crop from civilized warfare."

"If we categorize them into low, medium, and high levels of danger, we should pay attention to the following formidable enemies we will face on the battlefield in that order."

"Let's start with the easy ones and move on to the harder ones, the simpler ones."

"Number One, the Chitauri. They are a predatory race with decent technology. Their only notable assets are things like biological warships. They don't have any Super Soldier that require special attention."

"Overall, Earth soldiers equipped with new weapons can handle it."

"Number Two, Sakaar. After their battle with Titan Star, the elite gladiators should be few in number."

"Moreover, the planet's culture is one of excessive entertainment, it has no decent army, and the training of military cooperation is practically nonexistent."

"The only thing we should be wary of is the four Main God Level fighting champions, but out of caution, it's unlikely that these fighters will lead the team alone."

"In my opinion, both of these forces are just cannon fodder to be used for attrition, and their threat level is relatively low."

"Therefore, my conclusion is that we can let these cannon fodder threats go and let the regular army fight them on the ground!"

Ada, Kevin's personal secretary who was in charge of manipulating the star map, noticed Kevin coughing slightly and immediately poured him some chilled, sweetened black tea.

Although the plan has been prepared in advance, the people below still need time to digest and absorb it, and some time should be allowed for them to react.

Taking advantage of this break to allow the commander to gather some thoughts and clear his throat is a good way to relax.

At this moment, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, and they cooperated by reviewing the information about the Chitauri and the two forces from Sakaar, and memorizing it firmly.

The man paused, then singled out the Dark Elves and the Vanguard, composed himself, and began to speak eloquently.

"Number Three, Vanguard, this is Thanos's elite force. They possess special abilities such as telepathy, ultimate healing, and invisibility. They have a strong sense of battlefield awareness and are fearless in the face of death."

"Once their Mother Nest arrives, these monsters will pour out in droves, their sheer numbers almost overwhelming a conventional army on the ground."

"Moreover, we might sense the existence of an underground city, and a sudden advance would result in heavy casualties!"

"Fortunately, the other side doesn't have high-end military force; at most, they can only be considered elite troops."

"Number four, Dark Elves. Ever since King Malekith and his elite Cursed Warrior perished in the Asgardian Realm, they can only rely on their advanced technological fleet to project power."

"However, it should be noted that a well-organized fleet is highly lethal, and the enemy's stealth technology Black Hole Grenade are very dangerous to deal with."

"Furthermore, it is still uncertain whether the Stone of Curses is still preserved on the other side."

"But according to estimates, among the Dark Elves, including the surviving princes, there are at least three Main God Level commanders!"

"Theoretically, their threat level should be considered moderate."

"My idea is that the air combat units should spare the Chitauri and Sakaar fodder, and focus all their efforts on intercepting the Vanguard's Triangular Mother Nest and the Dark Elves fleet!"

At this moment, Iron Man pondered for a moment and raised his hand to voice his objection.

"Why not stop the two most extreme and dangerous forces at the back first, and then fight them one difficulty level at a time, like in a game?"

Loki crossed his legs, took a sip of tea, and gave Tony a disdainful smile.

"Dude, this is the real world. Do you really think people can just keep coming to deliver supplies? Why should they?"

"Don't underestimate Thanos. He's a brilliant strategist and wouldn't make such a basic mistake."

Frigga secretly glared at her youngest son, who had a sense of superiority over Earthlings. Knowing that she couldn't correct his mindset of being dependent on others in a short time, she decided to befriend the Avengers and others and explain some of the deeper reasons.

"In fact, the highly threatening Fire Giants and Frost Giants are physically strong enough to survive in a vacuum environment, making them essentially immune to Earth's conventional weapons."

"Even nuclear weapons are completely unaffected by radiation, intense light, and high temperatures, unless they are subjected to a direct impact."

"Therefore, it is theoretically impossible to significantly reduce the number of Frost Giants and Fire Giant by using precise strikes in the early stages."
