Chapter 107 / Chapter 108
Not long ago.
Valeria Richards, the daughter of Mister Fantastic Reed and nicknamed "The Mastermind," went through the darkest period of her life.
Her parents died.
The older brother was like a numb robot, hiding in the house and constantly trying to break the seal of his childhood.
Inside this closed, secret facility, she couldn't even go out, couldn't feel the sunlight and colors of the outside world.
What she found even more unbearable was that she had to constantly hear the incredibly stupid things said by the S.H.I.E.L.D.. science team.
As someone who was expected to be the smartest person in the future, she simply couldn't accept having to work with a bunch of idiots.
Their consistently slow-thinking nature even made Valeria wonder if they were the same species.
Just like Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.
"That's so stupid."
Working with these idiots is an insult to myself.
As one piece of bad news after another drifted in like snowflakes, Valeria realized that relying on these fools was useless.
And so.
She found inspiration and answers in the pager left behind by Nick Fury.
I might be able to build a device capable of broadcasting signals to the entire universe.
These idiots are beyond our ability to be trusted.
Being with them would be tantamount to self-destruction.
She was going to struggle.
I must get my revenge!!
Soon.
Through her research on this high-tech pager, she actually created a signal transmitting device that broadcasts to the entire universe.
As the radio waves are amplified by the Sun, which acts as a repeater, the signal will continue to strengthen and be transmitted into the universe.
However, limited by the available technology, the transmitted signals can only reach tens of light-years away, but that is enough.
Valeria felt satisfied with her invention.
That's the difference between her and those idiots.
She wants to bring reinforcements from outer space, summon a truly terrifying being, and utterly annihilate that Number One Mutants.
The response was remarkably swift.
Soon, a muffled and hoarse voice gradually became clear, as if the other party's alien language had been completely transformed.
"Shut down the signal immediately, or your entire Earth's interstellar coordinates will be completely exposed, leading to your extinction..."
Valeria was overjoyed.
But the other person's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
Even without seeing the other person's face in person, for some reason, she could feel a chilling coldness, and the incredibly sticky smell of blood filled her nostrils.
What kind of monster is this...?
Can a terrifying killing intent be felt across countless light-years?
Valeria immediately realized that she had made contact with a terrifying being from beyond the universe.
A pleasant surprise.
Yet, I also felt fear.
But when she thought about her already bleak life, she was filled with determination.
After a moment's hesitation, the girl said directly, "My civilization has fallen. Do not hesitate, come here to take our place and destroy us."
After that.
This caused some malfunctions in the signaling device.
Valeria frowned, immediately began repairing, and then, to make sure her words had been conveyed, she repeated them.
At last.
A cold, helpless voice came from the other end of the line.
"I see."
Their communication ended there.
Ah?
Valeria felt a pang of regret; had she agreed or not?
This ambiguous statement left her uncertain, so she simply kept the signal transmitter running, searching for other universes to exist.
And that's how Captain Marvel Carol, intercepted this message.
Enraged and stern-faced, she swooped down toward a secret facility on the west coast, her body glowing with golden light.
Boom!!
The facility's main entrance, which was designed to withstand a nuclear blast, was dented by the impact.
With a roar of energy, the gate was completely blasted open.
"Enemy attack!!"
The S.H.I.E.L.D.. personnel were taken aback.
At least the entire base facility already housed the vast majority of S.H.I.E.L.D.; who could have imagined that the enemy would strike so directly at their doorstep?
"No, it's her!!"
"Our reinforcements!"
Agent Coulson reacted immediately.
Isn't this dashing woman the woman who appeared out of nowhere in the last century and directly saved the earth?
But Carol completely ignored him, following the fluctuations of the signal transmission and disregarding the horror of those around her, she burst into the facility, her body radiating golden light.
Boom!!
With a single step, the metal-cast ground collapsed, and Carol violently broke into the second basement level.
The collapsed house before them was Valeria's bedroom.
"Who are you..."
She was startled.
"What the hell did you do, you bastard?"
Carol grabbed a signal transmitter from the bedroom table and glared at the other person with fury in her eyes.
Valeria immediately realized that what she had done had been exposed.
However, at this moment, her face was full of stubbornness, showing no sign of admitting her mistake.
Snap!!
Enraged, Carol slapped the girl across the face.
Even with much of its power restrained, the slap still sent the girl flying from the chair to the ground.
"You dare hit me?"
Valeria touched her face, her eyes filled with hatred as she spoke.
But then she suddenly realized something.
Ha ha!!
She burst into laughter, and even cried tears of joy.
As intelligent as she was, she naturally realized that she had succeeded!
"I did it, right?"
"You..."
Captain Marvel Carol gritted her teeth; if she hadn't been restraining her temper, she would have killed him outright.
Do you know what you've done? Do you really want the Earth to be destroyed?
"Otherwise what?"
The stubborn little girl sneered, seeing the Utopia forces growing stronger and stronger, thinking that this damned world should be completely destroyed and disappeared.
Do with me however you want, I know we're all doomed anyway.
"In the end, all I want to know is, who was the guy who responded?"
...(Okay, Zhao)...
Outside Earth.
In the vast and boundless space.
A figure on a silver glider glanced silently at a star system about to collapse and shatter before him, while the Galactus he served began its feast.
As a servant and one of the four messengers under the command of the Galactus, he is about to search for the next star system to be devoured by his master.
This is a difficult decision.
He even felt a little uneasy. If it weren't for the safety of his home planet, he would never have continued to serve as the Navigator.
But...
To his relief, a being from one galaxy actively sought its own demise.
Perhaps destroying such a sinful planet would ease the Silver Surfer's Mind Stone.
This moment.
He just stood there silently, watching over them.
Soon after, having destroyed the star systems along the way, he, as the Navigator, will head directly to the Solar System.
Chapter 108
Wow!
A commotion erupted within the secret facility before them.
Because Captain Marvel Carol, has just revealed all the answers.
"Life forms that existed even before the Big Bang, and are known as the Galactus, one of the Five Cosmic Entities?"
"Soon, one of his four messengers Silver Surfer, will arrive on Earth to guide them there as their Navigator?"
"If the Earth collapses, will the Solar System also perish?"
These words are truly absurd and unbelievable.
Even agents who had been exposed to too many supernatural forces found this somewhat absurd and nonsensical.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Your origins are unknown; you might have been sent by the Number One Mutants."
Some people have raised questions.
