Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 6 As long as Mazefak attacks, everything will be fine (sure)
In order to rescue Agent Hill, Mason and his team killed nearly twenty Skrulls at the New York Harbor dock.
This is a considerable number. According to Mason's conservative estimate, as long as they continue to maintain this trend, perhaps after ten years of efforts, most of the Skrull vanguards invading the Earth will be wiped out.
But from a pessimistic point of view, the Skrull spies probably won't be so kind as to send them twenty cannon fodders to kill every day, and for the superheroes of this world, they may not have ten years to waste.
"The biggest problem now is that we can't tell them apart!"
On the Spider Fighter returning to Parker Industries, Zhang Parker, who did not participate in the battle but collected combat data throughout the process, replayed the previous battle video in the cabin.
He used the analysis program to set a fluctuating value for the combat effectiveness of the pretenders in the picture, and said solemnly:
"After these pretenders have completed their disguises, their power is almost the same as the real ones. The worst-case scenario is that we may have to rely on the few people we have now to deal with a powerful combination of a fake Avengers and super villains.
I feel like I'm on a pirate ship now.
From a probability perspective..."
"Stop talking about your probability theory!"
Mason, who was sitting nearby and calculating some data in his mind, raised his head and said to the others gathered around the simple conference table in a decisive tone:
"By the way, multiply your worst-case scenario by ten! Don't harbor any illusions that this matter can be resolved secretly. The Skrulls are already fully prepared to start a war.
The most perceptive of you have been replaced by them, the equivalent of a giant having its brain eaten away.
We should struggle now while we can still do so. If we delay any further, the world will face brain death.
The only good news is that I have just told you that this is a "privatization operation", so you don't have to worry about encountering the Star Society's virus cleansing or the army of cleaners.
Gather your teammates."
Mason waved his hand and said to Captain Carter, who was frowning:
"Gather all the teammates you can still trust! Arm them, give up their illusions, and prepare for war! And you, Mr. Zhang, if you want to continue to live a life of luxury and provide for Aunt Mei in her old age, don't even think about staying out of this matter.
The Skrulls may need slaves from a world to work for their empire, but believe me, dangerous guys like you are definitely the first wave of troublemakers who need to be cleared out.
If you choose to surrender, you will most likely be transformed into an irrational killing machine conqueror. "
Everyone in the cabin fell silent. Mason punctured their benign judgment of the situation, but he also pointed out the direction: the people here are not afraid of war.
Although the chances of winning are slim.
"We can contact Wakanda, we can contact mutants and Inhumans, especially Inhumans."
After a few minutes of silence, Captain Carter said with finality:
"Their city has always been secluded from the world. As far as I can remember, the last time the Inhumans showed up was at the beginning of the Cold War. The probability of the Skrulls infiltrating them is very small.
Mutants also began to shrink their power after the Stanford explosion. Among them are psychic users like the White Queen, so it is very difficult for the Skrulls to infiltrate them."
"But Wakanda has declared permanent neutrality."
Agent Norman Rove sighed and said:
"The superhero registration bill that Tony pushed for angered Black Panther, and that prodigal king did not welcome us bringing strife into their territory."
"And yet we are discussing the Skrulls."
Zhang Parker snorted, and his face, which looked exactly like Peter's, showed a gloomy expression that Peter never had. He said:
"The result of their non-participation is that no one will help them after our demise. Black Panther understands the principle of the loss of lips and teeth. We need an envoy to go with 'sincerity' and 'evidence'."
"I'll go. I have some friendship with T'Challa."
Hawkeye patted the body bags around him, which were filled with the bodies of Skrulls.
This cool guy with purple goggles and a cool robotic arm said:
"I need a plane."
"I'll go to Attilan. I have a way to contact them secretly."
Captain Carter flexed his fingers and said:
"During World War II, I helped them rescue a group of Inhuman prisoners held by Crispy. The young Black Bolt, who had just succeeded to the throne, promised that they would come forward when I needed help."
"Finally, the mutants..."
Mr. Zhang's eyes fell on Mason, and the others also looked at him.
They all knew that Mason was a mutant who could manipulate water. At a time when various forces were at loggerheads over a registration bill, they obviously hoped that Mason, as an outsider, could take on the responsibility of communicating with his compatriots.
"I don't mind being a messenger. Anyway, I don't have anything important to do before I find my friend."
Mason didn't refuse.
He patted the hair of Harley who was sleeping beside him and said:
"But we have to wait until Agent Hill contacts your powerful ally. From what I know about mutants , their xenophobic nature will not prompt them to join a battle that they have no chance of winning.
Whether it's contacting Wakanda or the Inhumans, you have to show the power in your hands.
This is a very simple truth.
No one likes jumping on a sinking, leaky boat.”
"She's almost awake."
President Zhang glanced at Agent Hill who was resting next to him and said:
"I've been in contact with Nick Fury before. He trusts Ms. Hill the most, who looks like a vase but is actually very powerful. I'm also very curious about how much the old guy left for her."
A few minutes later, the Spider-Fighter returned to the underground hangar of the Parker Building, and the group moved to Zhang Parker's mansion.
He sent his sweethearts to other places in advance and used the mansion as a temporary base of operations.
Mason opened his bag and took out his mold-like personal arsenal and threw it on the ground so that it could be enlarged to its normal size, and displayed it at the edge of the hall just like the "Mason's Wonderful House".
After obtaining enough Pym particles, he no longer needed to use cumbersome voodoo inscriptions to enlarge and shrink these things.
There are a lot of futuristic weapons, armor and explosives displayed in front of him. This is the self-cultivation of a "support-type" craftsman. He always carries super firepower that can arm at least 200 people.
"Probably not as good as SHIELD's arsenal."
Mason humbly made a "please" gesture to the people in front of him and said:
"But right now you don't have the conditions to ask for better ones, so feel free to use them. If you don't know how to use those high-tech smart weapons, come and ask me, don't try them on your own.
If you break it, you probably won’t be able to pay for it.”
"You are so modest, Mason."
Captain Carter pushed open the door of "Mason's House" and took a look inside. The portable small tactical nuclear bomb launcher that required two to three people stunned the knowledgeable captain.
She looked at Mason with a strange look in her eyes and said:
"Compared to yours, SHIELD's weapons vault is like a children's toy stand...but are you serious about the three Thor's hammers you're hanging on the wall?
That thing doesn’t look fake.”
“It was a one-time thing.”
Mason explained:
"It is the product of my second upgrade of engineering concepts. For a high-intensity confrontation, spending a long time making a sophisticated imitation of Thor's hammer is not as cost-effective as preparing a few more disposable consumables.
Of course, although it is a consumable, after its Thunder Inscription is activated, it can ensure that its destructive power is slightly inferior to the original version within 5 to 10 minutes.
When the energy is exhausted, it can be used as a one-time explosive, with a mediocre power, probably equivalent to a 2,000-ton bomb?"
At this point, Mason pushed the frame on his nose in annoyance and said:
"The safety of a personal nuclear weapon shrunk to the size of a fist cannot be guaranteed, otherwise the equivalent of this disposable Thor's hammer could be further increased.
But don't worry.
My weaponsmiths have been working on this challenge, and I'm sure they'll have a finished product soon."
"This is the first time I've heard someone use the word 'equivalent' to describe Thor's hammer. I don't think that drunk Thor will like this term."
Captain Carter picked up the disposable Thor's hammer hanging on the wall and waved it in her hand. She whispered:
"Don't make something as crazy as that. I beg you to give the Earth a chance."
"Come on, sweetheart, Agent Hill is awake."
Harley's voice came from the other side, and everyone hurried over immediately and saw Agent Hill sitting up with the help of Harley.
The latter's face was pale and her body was covered with magic bandages. She had suffered abuse and torture at the hands of those Skrull bastards. Fortunately, Mason and others arrived quickly, preventing the Skrulls from taking out instruments to directly extract memories, otherwise the brewing resistance would have been nonsense.
However, at this moment, Agent Hill was lying on the pink "love water bed" that Zhang Parker usually used for pleasure, with a few blushing and heart-pounding sexy lingerie at hand, so this scene that concerned the safety of the world seemed a little bit not serious.
"Harley told me the situation and I know what to do now."
Agent Hill, with a pale face, rubbed his brows and trembled, and said in a weak hoarse voice:
"In the cemetery, Carter, in Steve Rogers' grave. That's where I hid the communications devices. Get them."
"they?"
Mason raised his eyebrows and said:
"More than one communicator?"
"Um."
There was no point in hiding it at this moment, so Agent Hill told everyone in front of him truthfully:
"Fury made preparations before he retired. He was not aware of the Skrull invasion, but he left behind a plan for similar situations. I am the 'observer' that bastard left on Earth. I am responsible for delivering information to him in the event of a crisis.
We still have the communicator left behind by Captain Marvel.
After Thor had a dispute with the Avengers and left the team two years ago, he also left behind a magical device that could contact him.
We still have reserves, everyone!"
The Level 9 agent coughed and said to encourage everyone:
"Don't give up! Even though the situation is bad, we can still win. As long as Fury and his men launch an attack, everything will be fine."
"You can't just say this casually. It's like setting a big flag."
Harley complained quietly, and put away the few pieces of sexy lingerie that she hadn't used yet, planning to wear them for Mr. K to see later.
Mason looked back at Captain Carter, whose expression was obviously not very good.
The reason is simple.
It was tragic enough that her first boyfriend lived a lonely life and died alone with infinite feelings for her girlfriend, but now even his grave was being treated as a treasure trove and she could not rest in peace.
But she didn't say much, just turned around and left with Agent Natasha.
Steve Rogers' grave is in New York City. They returned safely ten minutes later and brought back the communicator kept in a password box.
Agent Hill drank the blood tonic and stimulant prepared by Mason for her, and after recovering some energy, she began to operate these strange things.
First, he picked up the SHIELD's ancestral pager to send a message to Captain Marvel who was far away in the depths of the universe. Then he activated the Asgardian Philosopher's Stone and told Heimdall, the Observer of the Nine Realms, about the Skrull invasion, and asked him to help contact Thor to come back for help.
Finally, Agent Hill used his own DNA to activate the device that contacted Nick Fury.
While she was operating, she explained to the group of people gathered around her:
"Fury's retirement is just a smoke screen.
A year ago, after the Illuminati secretly exiled Hulk and Dr. Bruce Banner into space without informing him, he realized that the heroic forces would be doomed sooner or later if they continued to act independently, so he secretly made a back-up plan during his retirement life.
A force called Tianjian Bureau was secretly established at that time.
All personnel were recruited by Fury himself and avoided the mainstream hero circle. Those who stayed on Earth were all mechanical bionic bodies, and their main members were all on the secret space station "Sky Sword" near Mars.
Fury also hid there this year.
He's training new heroes and available powers, and now it's time for that one-eyed old black asshole to come back to Earth and clean up the mess he left behind."
Agent Hill's voice was somewhat gritted.
It's not just the dissatisfaction of subordinates towards their irresponsible superiors who run away.
According to the gossip of Jumper Bartok, there is suspected to be some not-so-pure personal relationship between Agent Hill and Nick Fury .
Well, we have been separated for more than two years. Not to mention gifts on Valentine's Day and birthdays, there was not even a message. No wonder she was so upset.
"Snap"
The device that looked like a radio transmitter was activated, and then a man's face appeared in front of everyone in the form of optical projection. It was not the bald, one-eyed old black man like Nick Fury, but a middle-aged man with a very high hairline and a gentle face.
"Coulson! Something happened on Earth."
Agent Hill, looking weak, reported:
"Activate Protocol Zero, Sky Sword immediately return to Earth and prepare for orbital drop! We need soldiers and Nick Fury! Hurry up that cold-blooded bastard !"
"Well……"
Agent Coulson on the projection had a subtle expression.
He hesitated for a moment and said:
"We all know the situation on Earth, Hill. When Tony Stark launched the 'Perfect Ultron' plan, the other observers left by Fury had already sent back the message.
We were supposed to return to Earth half a month ago, but we are now in a little trouble. "
"boom"
A loud bang sounded on the other side of the projection, and the entire screen shook a few times. Agent Coulson reacted quickly, grabbed an energy cannon at hand, turned around and pulled the trigger.
Dazzling rays intersected behind him, blowing up the head of the intruder who suddenly broke in.
This exciting scene made everyone, including Agent Hill and Mason, look at each other in bewilderment. Then, after clearing the threat, Agent Coulson turned around with a helpless expression.
He said:
“The Skyward Sword has been invaded… The Skrulls have infiltrated the reserve force. The situation is under control now. We have locked the warriors preparing for the Earth crisis in their respective dormitories.
But we can’t go back with all this trouble.”
"So, you can't count on me?"
Captain Carter didn't seem surprised by this. She crossed her arms and snorted, then complained to Harley beside her:
"I knew Nick Fury was unreliable from the first time I met him. He did have a lot of plans, but each one was executed very poorly."
"But there is good news!"
Agent Coulson hurriedly explained:
"We haven't spent this year on Skyward Sword in vain. Listen to me, friends, we have captured the signal of the Skrull troop transport ship!
They are leaving the solar system to reunite with their main fleet.
The heroes who were captured and replaced on Earth are among them, we have confirmed it!
So, why don't you find a way to come to the Sky Sword first, and then we can work out a plan to rescue those guys, and then go back to Earth and give those alien bastards a big surprise?"
