The Chitauri Were at War

"Master, Selovi offers you his utmost loyalty!"

Russell's prediction was correct. After he displayed his Overlord Aura, the Skrull named Selovi immediately pledged allegiance to him.

Selovi recounted his origins and the reason he impersonated the Kree Teptun, explaining that it all stemmed from a war between two great empires: the Kree Empire planted spies in the Skrull Empire, and the Skrull Empire also planted spies in the Kree Empire.

However, as an old empire, the Skrull have a superior ability in espionage due to their special shapeshifting ability!

Russell had little interest in the struggle between the two empires. He asked a few questions and then ended the topic. Those things were too far removed from him, and with his current strength, he was not qualified to participate.

"Can you still become the Kree Teptun?" This was Russell's biggest concern.

"Yes, I've been impersonating him for ten years and I know everything about him very well." Selovi nodded and transformed into Kree in the next second.

"Very good. Prepare everything on the order as soon as possible, then find a transport team to deliver it to the designated location." Russell nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I will tell you the specific coordinates later. It would be best to replace the transport team members with robots... Oh, and add another robot production line for me."

Selovi nodded solemnly. "Please rest assured, Master, I will complete the mission as soon as possible."

"Stay hidden and avoid attracting unnecessary attention!"

After Enslavement Selovi, Russell and Natasha checked into the top-floor reception building of the Teptun Interstellar Trade Company as VIP clients.

In addition to the production equipment in the order, Russell also asked Selovi to prepare an updated Star Map and intelligence on major events in the universe.

The Marvel Universe was a blank slate for Russell. To integrate into it and grow stronger, he needed to fill in the gaps in history as soon as possible, at the very least knowing who he could mess with and who he couldn't.

Russell didn't plan to stay on Kontraxia for too long, and to be honest, he didn't trust Selovi too much.

Both the Kree and the Skrull possess technological levels unimaginable to Earthlings, and it is highly likely that they have methods to break free from Enslavement skills.

Leaving aside technology, magic is not the only thing in the universe. Selovi can be trusted for now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Once this batch of supplies safely arrives in the solar system, it will be time to discard him after he has served his purpose.

This is related to Russell's subconscious aversion to the Skrull. Their shapeshifting abilities are disgusting. In addition to simulating forms, they can even copy memories. Some powerful Skrull can even perfectly replicate superpowers, making it difficult for people to feel good about them.

Most civilizations in the universe share Russell's attitude towards the Skrull, viewing them as a scourge and fearing that Skrull might infiltrate their ranks, leading to the theft of their latest intelligence or technology.

Where there is demand and supply, a market will form. The black market is essentially a naturally formed market; it exists because of demand.

Russell spent a week at the Teptun Interstellar Trade Company, where he witnessed the darkness and cruelty of the universe, where large numbers of cosmic wanderers whose home planets had been destroyed were being sold off.

Scarcity makes things valuable, and because their race had perished, these surviving offspring were extremely precious. They were sold to every corner of the galaxy, reduced to ornaments and playthings, spending the rest of their lives as slaves.

After his reflections, Russell quickly put them out of his mind. Earth would certainly not end up like that. If some cosmic empire were to invade Earth for some kind of provocation, it would be wiped out completely.

"Deadpool is right, Earth is the most dangerous place in the entire universe..."

Russell browsed the latest intelligence in his room, while Natasha purchased a large quantity of alien cosmetics and clothing through TV shopping. Women's aesthetic sense is sometimes truly illogical; clothes that Russell couldn't even comment on were treasures to her.

Russell is now rich; he's taken on a new black market dealer as a henchman, and his pockets are immediately fuller. Moreover, Selovi even managed to get them two identity cards, marking them as Kree.

The Kree have a bad reputation in the universe, which is why most people would avoid them if they revealed their identity.

Flipping through the intelligence reports in his hand, Russell was suddenly drawn to one of them. "Natasha, stop messing around with your weird underwear, let's go for a walk."

Now you're complaining about weird underwear? You weren't saying that last night!

Natasha rolled her eyes and quickly changed into a black combat suit, which she had bought from a TV shopping channel and was quite expensive.

It's puncture-resistant, shock-absorbing, enhances jumping ability, strength, and explosive power, allows for short-distance flight, and features energy isolation to avoid most Cosmic Rays. Wearing it is like wearing a supercharged spacesuit; even if the spaceship is destroyed, it can survive intact in space for three days.

Russell also bought one of these combat suits; he always wanted as many as possible to increase his chances of survival.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"A very interesting war broke out, so we went over to watch and see how interstellar civilizations fight each other."

The two arrived at the top of the building, where Russell pressed the remote control, controlling the Cybertron jet in the distance to fly over, board the plane, and soar into the atmosphere.

Outside the starry sky, Natasha noticed something was wrong. A large number of spaceships were taking off from the ground, flying in one direction and queuing up to pass through the space node.

"Boss, they are all..."

"The Chitauri are at war, and many of the people here are mercenaries."

In the Avengers, the Chitauri getting thoroughly beaten up over New York. They were Thanos's henchmen and also made an appearance in Avengers: Endgame.

The intelligence sent this morning mentioned that the Chitauri's homeworld has been invaded, and they are spending money all over the world to hire helpers to fight together.

This made Russell very curious. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Who is so bold as to disrespect Thanos?

Detecting spatial nodes, the Cybertron jet fighters traversed several wormholes, leaving a group of poorly equipped mercenaries behind. Even so, when Russell arrived at the Chitauri homeworld marked on the Star Map, he found himself too late.

On the vast other side of the starry sky, countless spaceships of different sizes are densely packed together, with ships hired by the Chitauri heading towards the fleet outside the atmosphere of their home planet.

Those who were just there to watch the spectacle were driven far away by the Chitauri fleet. Russell, who was there to watch the spectacle, consciously joined the ranks.

As more spaceships emerged from the spatial nodes, the Chitauri fleet grew exponentially, soon swarming across the skies above their home planet like locusts. Dozens of large warships were positioned at the forefront, followed by a scattered array of smaller ships, while the ragtag mercenary force was dispersed on the outermost perimeter.

The spatial node is controlled by the Chitauri, who have set up their naval cannons and are ready to meet a fierce barrage of fire should any enemy warships appear.

"Who exactly is the force that is at war with the Chitauri?"

Russell was very curious. The Chitauri didn't mention the faction to which the helpers belonged when they hired them, and judging from the terrible state they were in when they were attacked all the way to their home planet, they must have been weakened beforehand.

The mysterious force didn't keep Russell waiting long. Soon, in a corner far from the battlefield, a massive fleet jumped out from a spatial node.

The points of light leaped and danced, and in an instant, their number reached three digits. One after another, giant, pitch-black warships moved silently through the void, their sheer number completely obscuring the starlight behind them.

In comparison, the Chitauri forces were completely inferior, and the outcome seemed predetermined even before the battle began.

Points of green light appeared, and three rows of small holes opened at the front of these black warships, from which a blinding beam of light shot out in unison.

The Chitauri homeworld was still some distance away, so this round of artillery fire was unlikely to hit them. However, it was not a demonstration; the purpose was to clear out the onlookers blocking the way.

"What an overbearing guy! Isn't he afraid of provoking public outrage by doing this?"

Russell gasped in surprise, but what happened next left him speechless. The curious onlookers, enraged, turned to retaliate. But upon recognizing the black fleet, they didn't dare set off a single firework and slunk away to either side, disappearing in no time.

Those helpers hired by the Chitauri also turned their ships around and hastily rushed into the space node to escape.

As the number of ships parked around him dwindled, Russell couldn't help but scan the black fleet, searching for who they were. They must be powerful figures in the universe, having scared away these desperate mercenaries the moment they appeared.

Soon, the search results appeared, and the 3D projection in front of the driver's seat displayed the dangerous red lettering: The Black Order!

"The Black Order... is Thanos!"

Based on the warship models marked on the projection, the flagship of the Black Fleet is the personal vehicle of Corvus Glaive of the Black Order, and Thanos himself did not attend.

Whether Thanos arrived or not was irrelevant at this point. The three-digit Black Fleet was enough to wipe out the Chitauri. Russell glanced at the Cybertron jet fighter beneath him, which was probably not even as thick as the jet's cannon barrel, and decisively followed the crowd and retreated.

Leaving was out of the question. In all his years, Russell had never witnessed a cosmic-level fleet battle. At most, he could only stay a little further back from the war zone.

Like Russell, many others were not afraid of death and stayed away from the edge of the battlefield. Scattered around thousands of ships, they quietly watched the impending Carnage.

"Record the footage, bring it back to Earth, and include it in textbooks. This will be on the exam in the future!"

The image was magnified on the 3D projection, showing the black fleet slowly and steadily pressing down, like a heavy shadow descending, its immense power making it hard to breathe.

The Chitauri warships spread their wings, launching a vast number of small airships that formed a massive net. The space station, positioned in orbit around their home planet, slowly activated its defenses, loading its energy reserves, and pale blue beam cannons erupted in deep space.

"Damn it, Thanos is so rich, why did he wear a vest when he fought the Avengers?"

It's obvious that all the budget went to the actors!
