The lawn was wet and smelled of soil and blood.
Yong Rogg collapsed on the ground like an empty rice bag. The alloy armor on his chest had been shattered and dented, and every breath brought a soft sound of bursting blood bubbles.
Chu Hang's combat boots stepped on his chest without much force, but it felt like he was welded there.
Carol fell from the sky, her steps a little frivolous. She stood a few meters away, looking at this man. In her memory, he was a mentor, a commander, and an insurmountable mountain. Now, he is just a puddle of mud. This feeling is very strange, like a nightmare that has lasted for six years and suddenly woke up.
"Tell me." Chu Hang spoke in a calm voice, as if asking what to eat for lunch today, "Why did you come to Earth? What does Supreme Intelligence want to do? Also, what did you do to her memory?"
Yong Rogg coughed out a large mouthful of blood mixed with minced meat, but a twisted smile appeared on his face.
"She... is not her..." he screamed with all his strength, his voice breaking like a leaky drum, "She is a weapon! She is the property of the Kree Empire! Her power is too dangerous and must be controlled! We gave her a new life and gave her glory! She should be grateful to us!"
Chu Hang's toes turned slightly on the sunken breastplate.
Boom.
That was the sound of ribs being moved apart.
Yong Rogg's roar got stuck in his throat and turned into a muffled groan. The severe pain caused his entire blue face to turn purple, and his eyeballs bulged outward due to lack of oxygen.
"I'm not interested in listening to your imperialist propaganda." Chu Hang's voice turned cold, and every word was like ice slag, "I ask, you answer. Otherwise, I will let you experience for yourself what slow decomposition at the molecular level is. I will peel off every cell in your body from your bones, and let you watch yourself turn into a puddle of protein solution little by little."
He's not threatening, he's just stating a fact.
The word "molecular level" seemed to be more threatening than death itself. The madness in Yong Rogg's eyes finally faded and was replaced by a kind of primitive fear. He looked at Chu Hang, looked at the eyes that were so calm that there was no trace of waves, and finally understood that the man in front of him was not joking.
"Supreme Intelligence... it... it sensed the loss of control of energy..." He breathed hard, and every word caused severe pain in his lungs. "It ordered me... to take the 'weapon'... back and reformat it... As for her memory... we just helped her unload unnecessary baggage. A soldier does not need so many sentimental things."
He paused, as if trying to gather some strength, but Chu Hang's toes moved slightly again.
The severe pain made him dare not stop any more.
"We implanted Energy Inhibitor in the back of her neck... that thing can suppress her power and... filter her emotions. Let her become a perfect and absolutely obedient soldier."
Energy Inhibitor.
These five words were like a bullet, accurately shot into Carol's mind.
Her body trembled suddenly, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the back of her neck. Where her fingertips touched, there was indeed a small, almost imperceptible hard bump under the skin.
That's it.
It turns out that her uncontrollable emotions, her intermittent and fragmented memories, her sometimes strong and sometimes weak power that doesn't obey orders at all... are all because of this thing.
She is not amnesiac.
Her entire life has been artificially tampered with.
They stole her past and put a shackles on her.
"You... you..." A scorching anger that could melt steel spurted out from the deepest part of Carol's heart. The golden Cosmic Energy was no longer a gentle halo, but exploded like an out-of-control nuclear reactor. Circles of substantial flame halos spread from her body, wrapping her whole body into a small sun, and the grass under her feet instantly turned into charcoal.
The golden light in her eyes skyrocketed, and her pupils disappeared, leaving only two burning stars. She stared at Yong Rogg on the ground, and walked over step by step, leaving a luminous footprint on the charred ground with each step.
"I'm going to kill you!"
She roared, her voice distorted by extreme anger. She raised her hand, and a ball of destructive energy gathered crazily in her palm, making an ear-piercing scream.
Yong Rogg's face on the ground showed fear, but underneath this fear, there was a hint of morbid pleasure.
Look, he was right.
This weapon is indeed out of control. It only deserves to be locked in a cage or completely formatted.
Just when Carol was about to wave her hand, a hand gently placed on her shoulder.
It's Chu Hang.
That hand had no power and could not even feel the temperature. But the rampant golden energy in Carol's body was instantly calmed down as if it had been poured a basin of liquid nitrogen at minus one hundred degrees Celsius. The rage that gave her a splitting headache and wanted to destroy everything was slowly calmed down by a cool and calm will, like a tamed Beast.
"Kill him, it will be too cheap for him." Chu Hang's voice rang in her ears, not loud, but very clear, "Besides, a living Kree commander is much more useful than a corpse. Revenge is a dish that only tastes good when eaten cold."
Carol was breathing heavily, and her chest was heaving violently. She looked at Chu Hang's overly calm profile, the golden light in her eyes slowly faded, and her sense returned to her mind little by little.
Yes, kill him, and then what? Kree Empire will send more Yon-Rogg, endlessly.
Chu Hang let go of his hand, walked to Yon Rogge, and squatted down. Ignoring the other person's eyes full of hatred and fear, he reached out and fumbled around the back of his neck, then used two fingers like iron pliers to squeeze gently.
Snap.
With an inaudible sound, a silver metal piece the size of a fingernail was torn out of Yong Rogg's flesh. It was the Kree military's communication and identification device, which integrated complex biological information.
"Okay, now it's my turn." Chu Hang stood up and wiped the blood on the metal piece on his pants.
He looked at the confused Carol and suddenly smiled.
"Want to see a magic trick?"
Before Carol could reply, Chu Hang's body began to change.
His height is elongating, his shoulders are broadening, and the outline of his face is reshaping in the process of creeping. The bones make a subtle, tooth-gripping sound, and the color of his skin changes from a healthy yellow to the unique blue of Kree. The casual clothes on his body are like melted wax, reassembled into a dark green Kree standard combat uniform, and the cracks on the shoulder armor that he crushed to pieces are perfectly reproduced.
Less than three seconds.
A man who looked exactly like Yon Rogg lying on the ground appeared in front of Carol. Not only his appearance, but also the coldness and arrogance in his eyes that belonged to a senior officer were perfectly imitated.
"Form Mimicry." Chu Hang, or "Yong Rogg", said in the deep and hoarse voice of Commander Kree, "A very useful little trick, especially when it comes to deceiving people."
Carol opened her mouth but could not utter a word. She knew that Chu Hang could transform, but she was deeply shocked to see this flawless scene with her own eyes, where even the breath and expression were perfectly replicated. This was no longer a disguise, this was creation.
"Yon Rogg" walked to the lawn, picked up a hoverboard that had not been broken in the previous battle, and stepped on it. He activated the communication device in his hand.
A weak holographic projection unfolded in front of him, and the head of an officer Kree wearing a helmet and whose face could not be seen clearly appeared.
"Commander, report the situation." The voice on the other side was very urgent, and the hum of the spacecraft engine could be heard in the background.
"The target has been captured." "Yong Rogge" reported in concise military vocabulary, with a hint of suppressed exhaustion and pain in his voice, "Vers's energy was unstable, the resistance was fierce, and all members of the team were killed. I myself was also seriously injured. Now, I will escort her back to Hala to accept the trial of Supreme Intelligence."
This lie was perfectly crafted. The death of all members explained why he was the only one, and the serious injury provided a perfect excuse for the subsequent "loss of contact" or slow action.
"Copy that, Commander. Do we need to send a support fleet to pick you up?"
"No need." "Yong Rogg" interrupted him coldly, "This is my mission and my shame. I will take her back myself."
After speaking, he directly cut off the communication without giving the other party any chance to ask questions again.
After doing all this, he jumped off the hoverboard, his body began to squirm uncomfortably, and he returned to his original appearance of Chu Hang.
"Okay." Chu Hang clapped his hands and threw the communicator into his pocket, "Now, Kree Empire thinks you have been captured, and the commander responsible for escorting you is seriously injured and is returning alone. We have enough time before they discover the truth."
He looked at Carol with a hint of encouragement in his eyes.
"Enough for you to truly learn how to use your own power. It also allows you to dismantle that damn suppressor with your own hands."
Maria's backyard.
The real Yong Rogg had been sealed by Chu Hang with all his joints and vocal abilities using a special technique, and was thrown in the corner of the tool room like a piece of wood without Life Law.
Chu Hang was sitting comfortably on the recliner with his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap in the afternoon.
In his mind, a voice that only he could hear sounded on time.
[Weekly ability copy cooldown completed.]
[A new round of replication is ready.]
Coming.
Chu Hang's consciousness slowly sank into the system interface. He turned his attention to the half-dead Commander Kree in the tool room.
[Scan target: Yong Rogg (Kree Elite)]
[Copiable ability list:]
[1. Kree Physiology (blue race, strengthen physical fitness and environmental adaptability)]
[2. Interstellar Tactical Command (A level, Kree military standard tactical theory)]
[3. Energy Weapon Proficiency (B level, proficient in using Kree standard energy weapon)]
[4. Will Barrier (A level, strong mental resistance and willpower, able to resist most Mind Control and illusions)]
Chu Hang's eyes quickly scanned the list.
The first one, Kree Physiology, is of no use to him anymore. After integrating Super-Soldier Serum, Healing Factor and Cosmic Energy, his body has already Transcendence fallen into the category of ordinary Kree.
The second one, Interstellar Tactical Command. It sounds cool, but the biggest tactical advantage of Chu Hang is his foresight. He knows the direction of the plot, which is more effective than any tactical theory.
The third one, Energy Weapon Proficiency. is even more useless, he himself is the strongest energy weapon.
His eyes finally stopped at the fourth option.
Will Barrier.
This thing looks inconspicuous, not like Binary that can destroy the world, nor like Healing Factor that can Infinity survive. But Chu Hang knows very well that the further you get to the later stage, the weirder the enemies you face will become.
Loki's Scepter, Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic, as well as all kinds of strange mental attacks, illusions, Mind Law controls in the future universe... No matter how strong the physical defense is, it can't stop these things.
Although his willpower has become stronger due to the strengthening of Super-Soldier Serum, it is only an "attribute" of toughness and does not form an "ability" that can actively defend.
This [Willpower Barrier] can just make up for his biggest shortcoming in mental defense.
This is an insurance, a talisman in the face of unknown and strange attacks.
"That's it."
Chu Hang made a decision in his heart.
[Confirm selection: Copy ability--Will Barrier (Level A)]
[Ability copying...1%...50%...99%...]
[Copied successfully.]
A cool, solid feeling instantly flooded into his mind. His consciousness seemed to be covered with an invisible solid barrier made of pure willpower. In his perception, the whole world seemed to become clearer and more real, without any illusion or fog anymore.
Very good.
Chu Hang opened his eyes and glanced at Carol next to him who was still trying to calm down.
New loot is obtained.
Next, it's time to train this future Captain Marvel.
