The menu that was so clear in my consciousness that I wanted to cry made all the resentment in Chu Hang's heart go away.

Capability analysis function.

The weight of these four words is too heavy.

It means that the past barbaric era of copying abilities based on luck, like opening a blind box, is completely over. From now on, he can directly see what good things are on the target, and take whatever he wants. It feels like a primitive man who pokes around in the dark with a fire stick, suddenly being stuffed into a set of top-notch exoskeleton armor, and holding a high-precision sniper rifle with an eight-fold scope in his hand. The experience? It is not a dimensional thing at all.

However, when his eyes went down the menu and landed on the first option, his whole body froze.

[1. Binary (Cosmic Energy control)]

"Wait a minute..." Chu Hang's heart skipped a beat and he muttered, "Didn't I already have this thing? Six years ago, when Lightspeed Engine exploded, didn't I already copy it? What's the matter, my system restarted and my save was formatted?"

This is no small matter. If the ability is gone, the fun will be great.

With a hint of uneasiness, he tentatively asked in his mind, "System, what's going on? Binary, I obviously already have it."

[Answer to host.]

The sound of the system was still the same, cold, mechanical, without any human emotion. But this time, it no longer gave a simple prompt sound, but a long list of explanations that were so detailed that it made his heart skip a beat.

[Six years ago, because the core module of the system was severely damaged during the time and space jump, and the copy target (Lightspeed Engine exploded) was in an extremely unstable state of energy overflow, the 'Binary' you copied was a incomplete data fragment, with a completeness of only 17%.]

[This data fragment causes the original energy of Cosmic Cube in your body to be in a long-term unstable state, and creates continuous conflict with your 'Healing Factor' and 'Super-Soldier Serum', seriously depleting your Life Law origin.]

[This restart, thanks to the resonance with the high-intensity homologous stable energy body (Carol·Dan Vers), the system energy can be supplemented.]

[The current option 'Binary' is a complete data template. Select this option to complete and upgrade the incomplete data fragments in your body, and use this as a framework to completely integrate the Cosmic Cube original energy in your body. At that time, you will obtain the perfect Control right to this energy.]

Chu Hang After reading this explanation word for word, I felt a cold air rushing from the soles of my feet to the sky. My back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

I have been making trouble for a long time. For the past six years, I have been carrying a nuclear reactor that explodes from time to time!

He always thought that the energy in his body was difficult to control because this power was too high-end and too high-level to be played by his own level. Now he realized that it was not the case at all. To put it bluntly, the one he copied from Lightspeed Engine was basically a "trial version" with backdoors and viruses!

No wonder!

No wonder that in the past six years, he has always felt that there are two forces fighting in his body. One is the violent and unparalleled energy of Cosmic Cube, and the other is the Life Law force resulting from the fusion of Healing Factor and Super-Soldier Serum. Every time he Every day, you have to be like the most cautious animal trainer, carefully guiding and combing the beast in your body that may break free from the shackles at any time. It feels like a bomb disposal expert sleeping with an activated core Negasonic Teenage Warhead every day, and his nerves are always stretched like a string that is about to break.

He had always thought that this was a necessary tribulation on the road to becoming strong, but now it seemed that he was simply committing suicide.

It was all because of Healing Factor copied from Logan, Super-Soldier Serum of Steve's foundation was strong enough, and Life Law's strength was tenacious enough that it managed to carry it for six years without blowing itself up. If it had been replaced with one with a weaker foundation, I'm afraid it would have been torn to pieces by this internal conflict.

Now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of you.

A "full version" with genuine authorization, complete functions, and lifetime after-sales service. Not only can it completely dismantle the biggest security risk in his body, but it can also transform him in one step from a trembling rookie holding a bomb to a boss who can detonate bombs at will and Control the whole situation.

Is this still worth choosing?

"The decision is yours! Binary!" Chu Hang almost roared in his heart and made the decision.

[Instruction confirmed. Start copying and integrating the 'Binary' complete data template...]

Almost at the moment the system prompt sounded, an unprecedented experience swept over him.

A completely different energy flow was accurately extracted from the invisible energy resonance field between him and Carol. It was no longer the violent and painful one six years ago when hundreds of millions of volts of high-voltage electricity penetrated the whole body. Instead, it was an extremely gentle and orderly warm current that was slowly injected into his body and into his Soul Law.

If we say the copying six years ago was a barbaric and reckless energy infusion.

This time, it was more like a sophisticated genetic surgery.

A perfect piece of code and a flawless genetic sequence were accurately engraved into the underlying logic of his Life Law.

He could clearly "see" the violent and unruly Cosmic Cube Energy in his body that had been boiling for six years, like a group of unruly wild horses that, after galloping wildly on the grassland for countless days and nights, finally met their destined rider.

The energy that was originally colliding wildly, under the guidance of the new "data template", began to rearrange, combine, and operate in a mysterious and beautiful way. Those violent and destructive power particles were calmed and tamed bit by bit, and then incorporated into a new, stable and powerful circulation system.

Chu Hang closed his eyes, and he could feel that every cell in his body was resonating with joy under the influence of this new power. Healing Factor was finally relieved of its heavy burden, and no longer needed to be vigilant about energy runaways; the powerful physique brought by Super-Soldier Serum finally found a perfect fit, and was truly integrated with this cosmic-level power, no longer mutually exclusive or consuming each other.

He felt like a computer with a pirated system that he had been using for many years. It was lagging every day, getting hot, and getting a blue screen of death at every turn. But now, he finally installed an official and deeply optimized operating system.

The whole world, in his perception, has become different.

If before, he was still in the rough stage of using brute force to "bend" and "twist" the space energy Control, like a blacksmith with a sledgehammer, and it was all about feeling and luck. Now, he feels that he only needs a thought to be like a top surgeon, holding the most precise lancet, accurately "editing" and "modifying" the space itself.

This absolute Control sense of power made him almost intoxicated.

However, while Chu Hang is enjoying transformation, Carol on the other side is experiencing a completely different extreme.

The moment Chu Hang started copying, she felt that an extremely wonderful connection had been established between herself and the other party. A flow of information that she could not understand was flowing from her body, or from the source of her power, to the other party. She did not feel any loss of power, and the feeling was even weirder, like... like she had become an open book, being "read" and "analyzed" by the other party page by page.

Immediately afterwards, some memory fragments that did not belong to her poured into her mind like a tide without any warning.

In the muddy trench, with artillery shells whistling in his ears, a man with a cigar in his mouth and a weathered face suddenly stretched out three white Bone Claws from the back of his hand...

In the frozen cockpit, outside the window was the bottomless blue ice. A man with blond hair and blue eyes wearing a blue, white and red tight-fitting uniform was giving her a warm and apologetic smile across the ice...

These images flashed by so fast that she couldn't capture the details, but they were so real that her heart beat wildly. She subconsciously took a step back and looked at the man in front of her with his eyes closed and an expression of enjoyment on his face. The shock in his eyes had completely turned into horror and confusion.

Who is this man?

Why does he have the same power as himself?

Why... why can I see what's in his head?

Just when she was thinking wildly and feeling like her brain was about to burn out, Chu Hang opened her eyes.

In his eyes, a bright golden light flashed, and his eyes were so deep that they seemed to contain the stars of the entire universe.

He looked at Carol, looking at the violent energy arcs on her body that were still uncontrollable and overflowing due to her emotional excitement, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

He raised his hand and shook it in the direction of Carol.

The next second, Carol was shocked to find that the power in her body that was running like a wild horse seemed to be strangled by an invisible big hand. It became extremely docile in an instant, and then flowed back to her obediently. Inside her body. Even the "Binary" state that she couldn't control due to emotional excitement was forcibly suppressed under this gentle grip. The dazzling golden light on her body quickly faded, and she returned to her normal state.

During the whole process, she couldn't even think of a single thought of resistance.

It felt like a new soldier who had just learned how to shoot. Before the rifle in his hand was warm, he was disarmed by a veteran king who had been in the battlefield for many years with just one look.

"You... what did you do to me?" Carol's voice contained a hint of trembling that could not be concealed for the first time. Everything that happened before her eyes was completely beyond her scope of cognition.

"Nothing," Chu Hang put down his hand, his tone as relaxed as if he was discussing today's weather, "I'm just going to help you turn off the faucet that's not tightened."

He took two steps forward and stopped three meters away from Carol, his eyes calm and sincere.

"Your power is very strong, but your control of it is like a three-year-old child wielding a siege hammer. It's too wasteful and too dangerous."

He looked at her and said word by word, "Now, can we have a good chat? Let's talk about who you are, where you come from, and... what you forgot."

Carol looked at him, her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word. The confusion in her mind was even worse than when she just fell from the sky to the earth.

An instinct made her want to believe in him. That kind of power from the same source, that feeling of absolute suppression by him easily Control his own power, gave her an inexplicable sense of closeness and dependence. But Kree's six years of brainwashing teachings made her full of wariness and suspicion towards any stranger.

"I..." She was about to say something to break the suffocating silence.

Suddenly, a harsh engine roar came from far and near, tearing the silence of the ruins.

More than a dozen bright car lights lit up from the entrance of the ruins, like sharp swords, piercing the Mojave Desert night, accurately locking the location of the two of them.

Chu Hang frowned slightly. He knew who was coming without looking.

Nick·Fury.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s movements were faster than he imagined.

"It seems that we don't have time to chat slowly." Chu Hang glanced at the Black Noir Chevrolet Suburban who were quickly surrounding them, then turned to Carol and said, "If you want to figure everything out, just believe me. Now, hurry up."

Carol still hasn't realized what he means.

Chu Hang had already stepped forward and grabbed her arm under her astonished gaze.

"What are you holding on to?" Carol asked subconsciously, and the warmth from her arms made her freeze.

"Hurry up and experience it," Chu Hang grinned, "What is real flying?"

Before he finished speaking, an unimaginably majestic Cosmic Energy burst out from under his feet. He did not let the energy burn throughout his body to form a flame like Carol, but instead concentrated all the power on the point under his feet with extreme efficiency.

Boom--!

The hard ground cracked instantly, and a perfect circular impact crater suddenly appeared. Chu Hang hugged Carol, who looked stunned. The whole person was like a cannonball fired by an electromagnetic catapult. Without any extra movement, he lifted off vertically and broke the sound barrier in an instant.

Below, Nick Fury and Phil·Coulson, who had just rushed out of the car, could only raise their heads in stunned silence, looking at the golden stream of light in the night sky that passed by so quickly that it was almost impossible to catch it, and the huge sonic boom that came a step too late and made their eardrums buzz.

"Coulson..." Fury took off his sunglasses and rubbed his aching temples, feeling that his migraine was coming again. "Write it down for me. From today on, our department's budget will be followed by two zeros."
