Night, the Chernobyl Ruins.
This heavily contaminated area should have been deserted, but it was brightly lit at the moment.
Men, women, and children of all races gathered together, singing and dancing around a huge bonfire burning in the square.
Meanwhile, in an office on the second floor of a three-story building not far from the square, Gravik, disguised as a mixed-race youth, was sitting in a boss's chair talking to someone.
" Hana, I told you all expatriates must remain silent for the next few months, so why are you contacting me?!"
A rather excited female voice faintly sounded, "Lord Gravik, I swear this is a very, very rare opportunity. If we can replace Earl William, then the vote in the House of Lords..."
"Enough!" Gravik's face instantly darkened. He slammed his fist on the table and Wrath demanded, "I order you to immediately sever all contact with other Skrull, Hana!"
"Lord Gravik! But I..."
"Execute my orders! Your position is extremely important to us; there can be absolutely no mistakes!"
Hana's voice carried a hint of grievance. "Yes, I'm sorry, Gravik ~~"
Gravik's expression finally softened slightly. "Listen, Hana, the situation is extremely unfavorable for us! The ' Wanderer ' Spaceship has lost contact, and Senators Skrull and Kara, who were on Starship, have disappeared along with the ' Wanderer,' and Speaker Talos has also gone missing..."
He turned his head, glanced through the window at the bustling crowd in the square outside, and said in a deep voice, "Half of the Council of Six's leadership has been wiped out! Kinsley and Diego, those two cunning old bastards, have already cleverly disappeared without a trace."
"I now suspect that a very well-hidden force is searching for us, but we know absolutely nothing about it!"
"Forget your Skrulls identity, Hana! From this day forward, you are Greta Whitaker, the cybersecurity director of the Britain's headquarters!"
"Until I contact you first!"
"Yes, Lord Gravik!"
After hanging up the phone, Gravik stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling square, his mind filled with doubts.
The news that Australia sold 960,000 square kilometers of land has been confirmed, but why do I still feel uneasy...?
Who exactly is investigating us?
[ HYDRA? S.H.I.E.L.D..? The United States? Or another country or force?]
Just as he was lost in thought, a spatial wall composed of numerous dark blue Rhombic Space Fragment appeared out of thin air and enveloped the entire three-story building at an extremely fast speed.
Gravik's expression changed, and he suddenly roared, "Who is it?! Show yourself!"
"You're still so wary..."
A detached voice rang out from inside the room, and then Hawkeye appeared with two Crimson Nun.
Gravik's pupils contracted sharply after he saw the other person's face clearly.
" Clint Barton, it's you!"
Hawkeye's right hand swiftly conjured a crimson mechanical bow, while his left hand drew an armor-piercing arrow from the quiver on his back.
"Should I call you Agent Armidos Haywood, or just Gravik...?"
Gravik's skin instantly turned green, and in a flash he transformed into a burly Skrulls about two and a half meters tall.
He cracked his knuckles and grinned maliciously, saying, "Armidos Heywood is me, Gravik is me, Clint Barton, you dare show your face? Perfect, I'll take you down as a gift for Kinsley!"
After saying that, he roared and the ground beneath his feet exploded with a 'boom'.
Gravik instantly transformed into a blur and rushed forward.
At the same time, flying debris shattered the window glass behind him.
'Snap! Crack!'
The two Crimson Nun beside Hawkeye gave a soft shout and together they erected a Crimson Veil.
Gravik's ferocious impact created ripples on the Crimson Veil, but ultimately failed to break through the defense.
Gravik roared, and his eyes instantly ignited with red flames, which quickly enveloped his entire body from top to bottom.
"Go to hell!"
He raised his burning, flaming arm high and slammed it down heavily onto the Crimson Veil.
Hawkeye barked, "Scatter!"
The two Crimson Nun immediately dropped their hand seals and dodged to the left and right.
A crimson light flashed in his Hawkeye -like, sharp eyes. He swiftly drew his bow and released the arrow the instant the Crimson Veil, deprived of its power supply, was torn apart.
'Bah!'
A streak of arrow pierced the air, instantly penetrating Gravik's arm and disappearing into his left chest, protected by flames and green scales.
"Well!"
Gravik paused, looking down at the trembling arrow fletching in his chest, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Your arrows are faster and more accurate than before!"
He grabbed the arrow's fletching and pulled it out with a sudden, forceful motion, drawing a trail of bright red blood as the arrowhead left his body.
The red flames in Gravik's hand instantly turned blazing white, and the armor-piercing arrow was quickly melted into molten iron by the intense heat.
At the same time, even more raging flames erupted from the wound on his left chest, and the wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"But unfortunately, no matter how fast or accurate you are, you can't kill me!"
Gravik slammed his fists together and roared, "Come on! Let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"
Hawkeye said calmly, "Don't waste your energy. No matter how loud you are, your voice won't carry through this Mirror Dimension."
Gravik's expression changed; he then noticed a faint, dark blue hue peeking out from the wall.
"Space sealing?! Damn it! When did this kind of technology appear on Earth?!"
Hawkeye's lips curled into a slight smile, "As expected, you Skrulls have no idea what the real Earth is like."
"This isn't technology, it's... Magic!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two Magic Clone shot out from behind him, each wielding a scarlet longsword, and slashed at Gravik like the wind.
At the same time, the Main Body drew five arrows from the quiver at once.
Gravik's eyes widened in horror. He quickly bent his arms to block the attacks of the two Magic Clone. At the same time, the flames on his arms surged, forcing back the two Magic Clone that were attacking him.
" Clone... Magic?!"
How could there be Magic lineage on Earth?!
A deep sense of unease immediately rose in Gravik's heart.
Hawkeye Main Body shook his head and said, "Now you know, but it's too late..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than two soft shouts suddenly rang out from the left and right.
" Crimson Chains of Destiny!"
'Whoosh! Whoosh!'
Two scarlet energy chains shot up from the ground and quickly wrapped around his legs.
Damn it!
Gravik's expression changed drastically. He strained his legs, trying to break free of the chains.
But at that moment, two Magic Clone rushed over with a whirlwind and swung their swords again.
"Damn it!" Gravik could only spread his arms and grab the two Energy Saber.
However, this also resulted in his entire chest being completely exposed.
Hawkeye nocked all five of his arrows onto the crimson energy mechanical bow.
Goodbye, Gravik.
He drew his bow to its fullest extent, and five long arrows shot out simultaneously, instantly piercing Gravik's chest.
Gravik's body trembled, and a line of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Ah!!!" he roared, and with a forceful twist...
'Snap! Snap!'
He snapped the two scarlet longswords in two on the spot.
