Carol Danvers abruptly raised his head and looked at the person who had approached.
"You're the Richard Nick was talking about?!"
She was completely stunned; the person in front of her was so young! Was he really twenty-four years old?!
Nick Fury?
Richard suddenly remembered what the White Queen had reported, hmm, it was the good deed Yelena had done...
A strange smile immediately appeared on his face, "I heard Nick Fury is wanted globally by the Five Powers?! Tsk tsk... how's he doing these days?"
Carol Danvers was somewhat confused by Richard's expression, but still replied, " Nick is recovering from his injury... Also, Richard! I think we should have a proper talk. I mean no harm!"
"No ill intent... hehe~"
Richard chuckled softly, palm down, and lifted his hand upwards... A stone bench silently rose from the ground.
Carol Danvers's pupils constricted sharply; such terrifying energy manipulation!!!
Richard sat on the stone bench, legs crossed, looking at her mockingly. "No ill intentions, would you just throw an Energy Bomb at Kamar-Taj as a greeting gift?"
Carol Danvers's smile faltered. She pursed her lips and explained weakly, "Um... I was just confirming that this is Kamar-Taj..."
"How arrogant!" Richard exclaimed, his smile vanishing abruptly, his eyes turning incredibly sharp. " Carol Danvers! Decades of dominating the stars have made you far too arrogant!"
"Didn't you ever consider how many people your Energy Bomb would have killed if this weren't Kamar-Taj?"
Carol Danvers insisted, "No, Richard! That was just a probing attack... it wasn't very powerful!"
"It's not a big deal for Kamar-Taj ..." Richard scoffed, "But for ordinary Earthling, it's an unprovoked catastrophe!"
"Besides, you didn't come to me to negotiate, did you?"
" Nick Fury must have said a lot of bad things about me to you..."
"No!" Carol Danvers quickly denied, her eyes darting around. " Nick only said that an uncontrollable Magic force suddenly appeared on Earth..."
"Out of control?" Richard smiled knowingly and countered, "Then, Carol Danvers, are you under control?"
Carol Danvers paused, then instinctively replied, "Why should I be controlled?"
She quickly realized what she meant and hurriedly added, "I've been working hard to protect the Earth! I don't want to be controlled!"
"Protect the Earth... Pfft, hahahaha~" Richard suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.
The laughter, however, sounded extremely grating to Carol Danvers's ears!
Carol's face darkened. "Enough! Richard!"
She straightened her back, proudly and confidently declaring, "I have been fighting in the universe for over twenty years! I have saved countless lives! I have maintained peace between Earth and the stars!"
Richard's laughter subsided, but the mockery in his eyes grew stronger. "Protecting the Earth... do you know that Kamar-Taj has been protecting the Earth for thousands of years!"
"While your ancestors were still chasing Beast naked with stone spears, Kamar-Taj had already taken on the responsibility of protecting the earth!"
"For thousands of years, we have struggled to resist invasions from all dimensions! Only then has Earth enjoyed its current peace and stability!"
"Control?!"
"You and Nick Fury... two ignorant and fearless idiots dare to talk to us about control?!"
Protecting the Earth for thousands of years?!
Carol Danvers looked stunned after hearing this.
How is that possible?!
"This can't be!" Carol Danvers roared incredulously. "You're lying!"
"Earth is merely a tiny, insignificant planet in the universe!"
"If I hadn't withstood the gazes of various forces from across the cosmos, Earth would have long been enslaved or even destroyed by alien powers!"
Richard looked at the square-faced middle-aged woman trying so hard to refute him, and a strong sense of disgust suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Shut up!"
"Damn it, they've got a case of labor-management animosity!"
He stood up abruptly, gave Carol Danvers one last look, and said, "Stay here obediently, Kamar-Taj will give you the judgment you deserve."
Upon hearing this, Carol Danvers jumped to her feet, her face contorted with Wrath. "Trial?! You want to trial me?!"
"By what right do you judge me?!"
"I'm United States, you have no right to judge me!"
"Idiot~" Richard muttered disdainfully, then turned and left decisively.
"Stop! Stop right there!" Carol Danvers exclaimed in shock and anger as she got up and chased after him.
She had only taken two steps when Crimson Chain connecting to her ankle suddenly appeared.
'Kara!'
The Crimson Chain tightened!
Caught off guard, Carol Danvers fell headlong forward.
"No!" Her expression changed, and she subconsciously activated the energy within her body.
The ' Trinity Sealing Technique ', which can be cast by three Archmage working together, has an unparalleled sealing ability!
The Mana Tentacle deeply embedded in Carol Danvers's body, like lush roots, firmly sealed off every bit of energy within her.
She can't mobilize any of them at all!
Then, with a thud, Carol Danvers fell face down on the ground.
She abruptly raised her head, her face contorted with shame and rage, and screamed wildly, "Bastards! Let me go! This is illegal imprisonment!"
"I am United States! According to international practice, Kamar-Taj has no right to judge me!"
Richard suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Hmm, you're right..."
He slowly turned around, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "You are United States, and should be judged by United States law..."
Carol Danvers nodded ecstatically, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Only United States law can judge me!"
"I will send you back to the United States to stand trial..." Richard said, a strange smile appearing on his face, "But before that, I need to Stripping the Cosmic Cube energy from your body..."
"You!!!" Carol Danvers's pupils constricted sharply, her expression instantly turning terrified. "You... what did you say?!"
Richard grinned wickedly and repeated, "I said, I'm going to Stripping the Cosmic Cube energy from your body, honey~"
"Impossible! You can't do it!" Carol Danvers shouted in terror.
Richard shrugged. "Then you'll have to wait and see."
After saying that, he turned and left the Holding Room.
Carol Danvers scrambled to her feet, looking utterly flustered.
She knew very well that her current strength was not only due to the Kree's genetic modification, but also largely due to the energy modification of the Cosmic Cube.
The infinite energy of the Cosmic Cube directly altered her physical structure, granting her superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and energy manipulation abilities.
It also granted her the ability to fire energy beams and rapidly heal herself!
Especially her trump card: Binary Form!
It can be said that 99% of her current strength comes from the energy of the Cosmic Cube within her body!
Once she loses this energy, she's nothing more than an ordinary, modified Earth Human...
Just thinking about it sent chills down Carol Danvers's spine—the feeling of being instantly plunged from Heaven to Hell.
She suddenly remembered what Nick Fury had said before: Richard had stolen the Cosmic Cube...
"Damn it, Nick Fury, you piece of trash!!!"
Wait, he has the Cosmic Cube, so what he just said...?!
"No! I have to escape! I must escape!!!"
I want to escape Kamar-Taj!
I want to escape Earth!
I'm going to escape to the farthest place from this horrible man!!!
