Captain Marvel (Happy National Day!)

Nick Fury?

As soon as Ben got off the plane, he saw Nick Fury embracing a green-skinned Skrull woman, strolling sweetly on Galactic Federation tower. As they walked, they even kissed passionately.

He wasn't envious, nor did he feel like he was being subjected to public displays of affection; after all, Skrull are known for their somewhat unusual appearances.

In Ben's opinion, Nick Fury looked like he was kissing a locust, which was extremely offensive.

Nick Fury, hearing Ben's voice, looked up in surprise. "Ben Parker?"

He released the Skrull woman and saw Ben, who was overjoyed as if seeing an old friend, and immediately went to greet her.

Actually, the two of them had a lot of unpleasantness, but now it's all in the past. Nick Fury is no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., and after letting go of those messy things, he couldn't be more relaxed. So much so that when he saw Ben, he found the kid much more agreeable.

He greeted her warmly and then introduced the Skrull woman beside him.

"Priscilla Fury, my wife," Nick said succinctly.

"This is Ben Parker, the Plumbers from the Galactic Plumbers."

"Nice to meet you, Parker."

Priscilla reached out her hand to Ben, and the two gently shook hands before separating.

Unfortunately, he only grasped the right hand, so Bant didn't have the chance to extract Skrull genes. But there's no rush; the Skrull population in the Galactic Federation is quite large.

"I never expected to run into you here, Fury."

Ben now finds this Egghead Fury much more agreeable; when there's no conflict of interest, everyone's a friend.

Nick nodded and said, "I came with another friend, I'll introduce you later. By the way, how's Earth doing? I heard you led Captain America and the others to take down Thanos, you're really something!"

Thanos's army were to unite its forces, it could wage a protracted war against any of the Three Great Empires and emerge victorious!

But even the mighty Thanos lost to the Galactic Plumbers.

This made Nick Fury even more wary of this newly emerged cosmic organization. Although he was no longer on Earth, he was still trying his best to find out information about the Galactic Plumbers, especially the Thanos Galactic Plumbers Security Officer who killed Thanos, namely King of Sakaar.

However, the results were mediocre.

Those who know Ben's identity are mostly on Sakaar, a place whose unique cosmic location, thanks to the power of the Space Stone, has been virtually isolated in another dimension, making it inaccessible to outsiders.

As for the branches on other planets, they are all composed of people from the local planets, with only a small number of dispatched personnel.

Therefore, Nick Fury was unaware that the leader of the Galactic Plumbers was actually Ben.

"Tony created an Ultron AI system, and now Earth is practically under his control. The Avengers are almost disbanded." Ben shrugged, indicating that Earth was no longer related to the Galactic Plumbers.

"What's going on?" Nick Fury was taken aback.

Just a few months ago, he heard the news that the Avengers had defeated Thanos's Black Order, and he was marveling at how well the Avengers were doing, proving that his plan had indeed worked.

Unexpectedly, it has already reached the point of disbanding?

Fury was dumbfounded.

They immediately inquired about the details of what had happened.

Although he is no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., the Avengers are still his brainchild!

Ben recounted the events in detail, omitting his own plan. After listening, Nick Fury's face darkened even more, and his wife frowned, thinking Ultron was unreliable.

Technology should ultimately be a tool; how can it be used to rule humanity?

This is completely putting the cart before the horse.

"How could you let him do something like that?" Nick Fury felt Ben should stop him.

"Unless I break his arms and legs, remove his vocal cords, and then imprison him, do you think he'll listen to me?" Ben retorted.

Nick Fury immediately fell silent.

In reality, even if Ben really did beat Tony half to death and leave him unconscious, that guy's consciousness might still be able to contact Jarvis, and then suddenly unleash a massive attack on everyone.

Tony Stark is that kind of person.

He sighed and dropped the topic.

Whatever, whatever happens, it's none of my business anyway.

With that thought, Nick Fury felt much more at ease and, with his arm Ben, began asking about the Galactic Plumbers again.

"I heard that the King of Sakaar will also be attending this meeting, so Three Great Empires are taking it very seriously." As he led Ben along, he pointed to the silhouettes of several giant warships outside the atmosphere and explained, "Those belong to the Shi'ar Empire, and that one belongs to the Kree Empire... I've heard that the Kree Empire is determined to take action against Ronan the Accuser this time, which may lead to a conflict with the Galactic Plumbers."

He offered a reminder, and then casually asked:

"You must be a seasoned Plumbers, do you know what kind of person Sakaar King really is?"

Upon hearing this, Ben smiled and said, "What, you, the head of the intelligence agency, are asking me for intelligence?"

Nick, far from being ashamed, winked at Ben with considerable pride. "Connections are also a form of skill for an agent!"

However, after saying that, he honestly added, "I did try to get information from Xandar, but it didn't work. Most people didn't actually see King of Sakaar defeat Thanos; they only saw terrifying energy shaking the heavens and earth from afar, and even the moon was almost knocked down. Is that true?"

"Really." Ben nodded.

Thanos used gravity to pull Xandar closer. If they had gotten any closer, the moon and Xandar would have torn apart under their mutual gravitational pull, and both planets would have turned into cosmic dust.

However, Ben pushed it back again.

Nick listened, finding it unbelievable; he didn't believe Ben would lie to him, because it made no sense.

What good is it if we can fool him? If we can't fool the Three Great Empires, it's all for nothing.

"I wonder who is more powerful, King of Sakaar or Carol?"

He secretly compared the strength of the two sides, but quickly shook his head. If the rumors were true, then Carol was probably no match for King of Sakaar.

"At least without activating Twin Star Mode, Carol is probably no match."

Nick became even more curious about this King of Sakaar and continued to press him for details about his identity.

Ben continued to avoid answering, "Anyway, the Security Officer will be attending this meeting, you'll find out soon enough, won't you?"

Nick rolled his eyes, but didn't ask any more questions, and instead showed Ben around the Galactic Federation.

He knows this place very well.

The Plumbers who accompanied Ben couldn't help but find it laughable that Nick Fury, with his mortal eyes, couldn't recognize the true god.

Bill waved his hand, dismissing the Plumbers who were about to follow and protect Ben.

Does the King of Sakaar still need your protection?

Isn't this ridiculous?

If anything unexpected happens, Ben might end up protecting them instead.

Ben and Nick walked and talked. Nick's wife left first without disturbing them. After a while, a blonde woman in a bright gold and red uniform walked towards Nick Fury.

It's clearly Captain Marvel.

"This is the friend I wanted to introduce to you, Carol Danvers, people call her Captain Marvel. She used to be an Air Force officer. You should know about Pegasus Project, right?"

Nick nudged Ben with his elbow.

Pegasus Project was documented in S.H.I.E.L.D..'s files, but after S.H.I.E.L.D..'s collapse, Norman inherited its legacy. Nick believes that given the relationship between Ben and Norman, Bant must have some knowledge of those important secrets.

Ben did not deny it, shook hands with Carol in a friendly manner, and gave a brief self-introduction.

"Ben Parker."

He glanced at Carol and found that this Captain Marvel didn't have the familiar middle-aged woman's face. Instead, she was quite pretty. Ben guessed that she was probably Captain Marvel from some comic book universe, so he wasn't surprised.

Captain Marvel seems to have a good impression of Ben.

Or rather, she had a very good impression of the Galactic Plumbers.

Over the years, she has been maintaining peace in the universe, but she has limited manpower and can only help a small number of people.

However, as the influence of the Galactic Plumbers's Guild continues to expand, more and more planets join it, and the force upholding justice becomes increasingly powerful. From a long-term perspective, this is a very good thing.

"Should we join the Galactic Plumbers as well?"

Ben immediately extended an olive branch.

Captain Marvel's strength goes without saying; she can tear apart warships with her bare hands and punch Thanos's woman. She is one of the top combat forces in the entire universe, not to mention her Binary Form.

If she could also awaken her Energy of the Universe, it would be a good thing for the development of Legerdomain.

Before Carol could even speak, Nick Fury eagerly raised his hand. "What do you think of me? I can join too! The King of Agents, no joke!"

He had ulterior motives; his desire to become Plumbers was a pretense, his real intention was to obtain information about the Galactic Plumbers.

Ben didn't care. Plumbers, like S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents, also had a hierarchy. Low-level Plumbers had no access to any core secrets. Nick Fury would be doing free work if he joined. If he really had bad intentions, he could just make him clean toilets—some alien excrement was incredibly smelly!

"Plumbers, huh...?" Carol lowered her head, deep in thought.

She did have a good impression of the Galactic Plumbers, but she also had some concerns.

She's always worked alone; if she became Plumbers, wouldn't she be tied to the Galactic Plumbers)?

"Or should we count --"

She was about to refuse when Ben interrupted her, seemingly aware of Ben 'Carol concerns, and said, "Don't worry, we also have outsourcing and temporary worker systems."

Nick Fury raised an eyebrow.

What a great temporary worker system!

You little brat!

That's incredibly heartless!

However, he misunderstood. This temporary worker system was essentially an unofficial member of the Plumbers ' organization. They acted as Plumbers in name only, but in reality, they did not need to follow the headquarters' orders. On the contrary, they could share the intelligence and basic equipment of the Galactic Plumbers to a certain extent, which would enable them to carry out space rescue better.

Of course, Ben's real goal was to spread the seeds of the Energy of the Universe.

Compared to regular Plumbers, temporary workers are not obligated to obey headquarters and therefore do not enjoy the benefits of Plumbers.

Upon hearing this, Carol had no more reservations and immediately offered to join the Galactic Plumbers as a temporary worker.

Ben had been waiting for this, and immediately gave her a badge.

"The badge can be used for communication, ensuring uninterrupted connection in any environment. It can also be used for location tracking, scanning, analysis... it has many functions. The magic runes on the back are Alpha Rune, which, when activated, grant a temporary boost to Energy of the Universe."

"What is 'Energy of the Universe '?" Nick Fury asked immediately upon hearing the term for the first time.

"It's something I created by imitating the Nova Force of Xandar. Consider it a last resort in case of danger." Ben naturally avoided mentioning Legerdomain.

Anyway, giving you Energy of the Universe isn't a bad thing; just use it.

Nick Fury was amazed and ordered one too.

Ben didn't seem to mind losing anyone; he wanted as many useless people as possible.

Unfortunately, Fury was too weak. As someone with a low level of life energy, he was also very weak when he first awakened his Energy of the Universe.

The three men talked for a while longer, then Bill strode over and told them the meeting was about to begin.

So the group left together.

Nick Fury was looking around like a gorilla, searching for any sign of the King of Sakaar, but he didn't see a single suspicious person until he entered the conference room.

The leaders of the Three Great Empires were present.

The round table, which used to be divided into three parts, is now divided into four, with each of the Three Great Empires occupying one corner, except for the Galactic Plumbers) which remains empty.

Nick Fury wasn't qualified to sit at the table; he and Carol were seated at a distance because they didn't represent any of the Three Great Empires.

"The King of Sakaar hasn't shown up yet?" He was surprised; this was probably the only one who could keep the people of the Three Great Empires waiting.

My gaze fell upon the central round table in the conference room, the very heart of the Galactic Federation meeting. The voices of the Three Great Empires were undeniable in the universe; others, even someone as powerful as Carol, were merely figures of some influence.

Now, the three of them were clearly getting impatient.

Especially Kallark, the regent of the Shi'ar Empire.

This is a tall man with a black mohawk, wearing Red and Blue Uniform. He is extremely powerful, and in the comics, there are records of him fighting against powerful figures like Thor without sustaining any injuries.

Moreover, his abilities are somewhat similar to the Hulk's.

The Hulk becomes stronger the rage he feels, and the more confident he is, the more powerful he becomes.

As one of the universe's top warriors, Kallark was naturally full of confidence!

However, he was also extremely angry at this moment.

That Sakaar King said he wanted to attend the Galactic Conference, yet he left the people from the Three Great Empires here for so long; he simply doesn't take them seriously!

He could not tolerate such contempt!

So what if we defeated Thanos?

Not to mention that no one knows how Thanos died, even if Thanos really came, he wouldn't dare to ignore the Three Great Empires so much.

He wanted to see what this so-called Sakaar King was capable of!

I'd like to recommend a friend's book, "The Clow Cards Magician in American Comics." He's an experienced author of Clow Cards; you might want to check it out if you're interested.

Below is a brief introduction:

The story begins with a time travel to Arkham City, where the protagonist accidentally enters the Joker's hospital room and is imprisoned there by the Joker as a stand-in.

Fortunately, the Clow Grimoire that Su Xing found at the secondhand bookstore before his transmigration had changed and become the "Dark Clow Grimoire".

But just as Su Xing was secretly rejoicing that the Clow Cards in the "Dark Clow Grimoire" were still there, he was told by the sealed beast "Kyubey" that the Clow Cards in the "Dark Clow Grimoire" had lost their power for some unknown reason, and what he had left was just an empty shell.

His mission is to defeat characters who possess the same power as the Clow Cards (such as Superman, who can fly and move freely, and has both A-rank strength and speed, or the Flash, who possesses the Speed Force, can exceed the speed of light, and reverse time), and to reclaim the power belonging to the Clow Cards from them.

"Wait? I'm playing against Superman and the Flash?"

"Me? You mean me?"

Su Xing pointed to himself, who was completely powerless, with an incredulous expression.

"Besides, what did you say your name was again?! You bastard!"
