Reversal

"Ha ha, nuclear bombs really pack a punch."

Ivan laughed heartily, while everyone else sucked in a cold breath. Nuclear bombs were not terrifying, and neither was Teleportation, but nuclear bombs that could teleport were absolutely horrifying.

"Earthlings are truly brutal."

High Priestess Ayesha, Thor, Rocket, and the others were all astonished. They had no idea how many nuclear bombs Earth possessed; otherwise, they would definitely think all Earthlings were insane.

The nuclear bombs on Earth could wipe out humanity countless times over.

Tony instantly guessed the truth. "There are clones inside the Invisibility Armor?"

"That’s right. The nuclear bombs are inside their bodies. All right, get lost. Don’t disturb me while I’m fighting."

Ivan loudly ordered, "Attack! Wipe out the remaining fighters and warships."

The drone ships, Drone Armor, and Clone Corps immediately swarmed forward. Without ten main ships holding the line, coupled with the shockwaves from the nuclear explosions, the Kree Fleet swiftly collapsed.

Faced with such massive losses, the Supreme Intelligence was not alarmed but pleased. "Good. We have figured out their trump card. As long as Ionization Defense is deployed around the main ships, their trump card can be easily neutralized. All forces, attack. Take Sovereign. Also, begin preparations for the Antimatter Cannon."

"Yes, Supreme Intelligence."

The captains were unsurprised by the Supreme Intelligence’s cold-bloodedness. After all, it was merely a computer.

Next, dazzling arcs of electricity lit up around every main ship. This Defense Shield was not particularly strong, but it combined offense and defense. Any Invisibility Armor or clone that appeared nearby would immediately be trapped and destroyed.

The Earthlings’ tactics relied on surprise, but their foundation was too shallow. Once their methods were understood and preparations made in advance, their "surprise" could be easily broken.

After the entire army set out, the Supreme Intelligence said to the group of experts aboard the ship, "Earth will certainly send out Super Heroes. I’ll be relying on you when that happens."

"Leave it to us."

The three Champions from the Sakaar arena—God of War Ares, Two-Headed Man, and Man-Thing—all nodded. Ares said confidently, "Perfect. I’ve been wanting to see what Earth’s experts are capable of. Actually, my ancestors were Earthlings too."

As for the other experts, some also came from the arena, while the rest were cosmic powerhouses recruited by the Kree Empire.

In order to obtain Adam and Eve, the Supreme Intelligence had made every possible preparation.

In Hell, the Grandmaster praised, "Blood God, your arrangements have exceeded my expectations somewhat. Unfortunately, before absolute strength, no amount of planning will matter. Sovereign is doomed to fall today."

Wang Bert scoffed. "Don’t boast too soon, or your face will hurt later."

The Grandmaster said confidently, "My face may hurt often, but not this time. Definitely not."

Wang Bert snorted and could not be bothered with the Grandmaster. It was only the Kree Empire. How could it possibly stump him, the Blood God? In Sovereign’s command room, a Sovereign reported in alarm, "An abnormal energy reading has been detected. The Kree Empire has activated its Antimatter Cannon. Charging is expected to finish in fifteen shaers."

A shaer was Sovereign’s unit of time, equivalent to half an hour on Earth.

High Priestess Ayesha hurriedly shouted, "Super Heroes, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack!"

"You’re not the one giving orders."

Frank snorted. "Thor, Carol, don’t rush. Use the trump card we prepared first."

Thor and Carol stopped at the same time. Carol asked, "At a time like this, what trump card could we possibly use?"

Frank smiled. "Of course there is one. A trump card enough to reverse the outcome."

Soon, the Kree main force entered the battlefield. They dispatched large numbers of warships and fighters, launching saturated attacks against the Clone Corps, remote-controlled ships, and Drone Armor. Under their fierce offensive, the Earth Allied Forces steadily retreated.

"The Clone Corps is nothing special."

Watching the clones outside be destroyed one after another by electric light, the Kree commanders smiled disdainfully. Before their Ionization Defense, the clones were no different from throwing away their lives.

Seeing that the Kree forces had entered the designated zone, Frank coldly ordered, "It’s time. Begin."

On the Blood God, Lorelei, wearing a special pearl necklace, stood up and said excitedly, "It’s finally my turn to perform. Asgardian mages, activate the rune towers."

"Yes."

Several mages transferred from Asgard immediately activated the rune magic towers on Sovereign. As the towers lit up, eight enormous phantoms of Lorelei appeared in space, spread across every direction.

"Do you think I’m beautiful?"

Lorelei touched the pearl necklace around her neck and asked the people ahead with a charming smile. Empowered by magic, her voice could be heard by everyone.

Everyone instinctively looked out the windows and at the screens. The moment they did, the men’s eyes went wide. They had never seen such a beautiful woman.

Whether Kree or space pirates, they all felt the same way. In their eyes, Lorelei was the perfect woman. The reason her charm could cross racial boundaries was the magic necklace around her neck. It was called the Charm Necklace, and it enhanced its wearer’s allure, making every man drawn to her. It had been provided by Collector Tivan.

"Since you think I’m beautiful, go destroy all the enemies for me, men."

Lorelei blew everyone a kiss and said with a smile. Compared to before, after learning acting, she had clearly become even more captivating.

"Long live the goddess!"

The controlled men immediately turned their guns and fired wildly at the Kree Fleet. Caught off guard, large numbers of Kree ships fell.

At the same time, Lorelei’s "fans" within the Kree Fleet drew their weapons and shot their former colleagues. Countless Kree died miserably.

It was worth mentioning that men who saw Lorelei through a screen were not controlled. They had to see her with their own eyes.

The battlefield instantly descended into chaos. Countless Kree and space pirates slaughtered one another. Frank laughed loudly. "The results are even better than expected. Thor, Carol, you can move out now. Destroy that Antimatter Cannon."

"Fine. Ha ha, I never expected Lorelei’s ability to be this useful."

Thor laughed loudly, swung his hammer, and flew into space. Carol curled her lip, cursed, and rushed after Thor with all her strength.

"What kind of ability is this? What kind of charm is this?"

High Priestess Ayesha’s eyes went blank. One smile could topple a city, another could topple a nation. She had never expected such a beauty to truly exist.

Even Michelle, who was known as the most beautiful woman, felt ashamed by comparison. Inside the Blood God, Lorelei quietly said to the reporters, "Make sure you film me beautifully. Whether I can become a major star depends on this."

The reporter from Xandar controlled drones to take pictures frantically and said excitedly, "Beautiful enough to make the Kree Empire’s main force slaughter itself! If you don’t become famous, I’ll chop off my head and let you use it as a stool! Lorelei, just wait to become an overnight sensation."

"Then that’s good. Once I’m famous, Titanic will be released immediately. Then I’ll be a real superstar."

Lorelei laughed happily. She could already see her glamorous future.

By then, countless people would fall at her feet. Of course, she would belong only to her master. Those people could only look.

"Damn it, what is going on?"

The Supreme Intelligence roared in disbelief. No one answered it, because its commanders were exchanging fire with a group of women.

"For the goddess, destroy that disgusting computer!"

The commanders, once wise and steady, fired wildly while shouting fanatically. The women kept shooting back, but they did not dare aim at vital points. After all, those men were commanders.

The Supreme Intelligence gritted its teeth and looked toward the group of experts, only to discover that they too were slaughtering one another.

"I, God of War Ares, have finally found the meaning of my existence—to protect the goddess."

Ares swung his massive axe, hacking fiercely at Two-Headed Man while shouting excitedly.

Two-Headed Man was a half-cyborg. It was worth mentioning that its two heads were not side by side, but stacked vertically. As it blocked Ares’s axe, it sneered, "Ares, your image has completely fallen apart."

"It doesn’t matter. Other than the goddess, I don’t care about anything now."

Ares laughed maniacally and slashed through the air with his axe. Half the command cabin was split in two. If not for another layer outside, even the command room would have been breached.

Man-Thing, who looked like a swamp monster and was covered in dense vines, looked at Ares and Two-Headed Man fighting, scratched its head, and decided to watch. After all, no one was paying it to fight either Ares or Two-Headed Man.

Besides Ares, many other experts had also been controlled and were crazily killing one another. This was only a microcosm of the situation outside. The Kree army beyond was bombarding itself madly, and even main ships were falling because of it.

"The time for the final battle has come. No need to hide our forces any longer. All troops, attack!"

Seeing the Kree Empire’s miserable state, Ivan laughed loudly. Following his order, large numbers of clones and drone ships flew out from Sovereign’s bases and joined the battle with overwhelming momentum.

The situation instantly reversed. Countless Kree ships exploded in space, and even main ships were beaten into disarray.

"Sovereign still has so many troops? Damn it, if this continues, we’ll lose."

The Supreme Intelligence gritted its teeth and used quantum technology to transfer its Mind Power from its main body to the Dark Sky. Then, it activated the arrangements aboard the Dark Sky, pressing tube after tube against the rebellious men.

Besides being a biological computer, the Supreme Intelligence possessed a certain degree of Mind Power. Through instruments, it could communicate with, influence, and even control the minds of others.

However, transmitting Mind Energy across star systems consumed an enormous amount of energy. Unless driven into a corner, the Supreme Intelligence would never have done this.

Under the influence of the Supreme Intelligence’s Mind Power, God of War Ares and the commanders gradually regained clarity. Remembering what had just happened, they wanted nothing more than to crawl into a hole. It was far too embarrassing.

The Supreme Intelligence ordered, "Don’t waste time. Ares, you three, hurry and stop Carol and the one with the hammer."

While the Kree were slaughtering one another, Carol and Thor had approached the Dark Sky at astonishing speed. Every ship and warship in their path had either been forced aside or destroyed.

No warship could stop them. Given their strength, once they reached the Dark Sky, it would certainly fall. The Antimatter Cannon was aboard the Dark Sky.

"Fine."

The three, Ares included, stopped wasting words and left the Dark Sky to meet Carol and Thor. All three could survive in space.

Soon, the three blocked Carol and Thor’s path. Ares shouted at Thor, "Thor, do you dare fight me?"

"Get lost."

Thor hurled his lightning-wreathed hammer fiercely at Ares. Ares sneered and brought his axe down hard on the hammer. A powerful surge of energy erupted, sending both Ares and Thor flying backward.

"Interesting."

Thor laughed loudly, raised a hand to recall his hammer, and charged fiercely at Ares amid crackling lightning.

"The son of God King Odin is nothing special."

Ares sneered. Dazzling red light flared from his body as he fought Thor with masterful combat skills. They were evenly matched, and their battle grew more intense by the moment. Lightning and red light flashed everywhere around them. A ship was accidentally drawn in and instantly turned to ash.

The ships were terrified and hurriedly fled. These two were far too frightening.

"To hell with your official duties, to hell with your appearances, to hell with your development, to hell with your rules, to hell with being a prince…"

Thor swung his hammer and cursed at the top of his lungs. The past half year had stifled him badly.

"To hell with you, Thor."

Ares had no idea what Thor was cursing about, but that did not stop him from cursing back. As Zeus’s son, he did not believe he was inferior to Thor.

"Carol, my mission is to kill you."

Two-Headed Man threw an earth-shattering punch at Carol, with momentum nearly equal to Hulk’s fist. At the same time, the vines on Man-Thing’s body lashed toward Carol one after another like ropes.

"Just the two of you?"

Carol smiled disdainfully, dodged the attacks from Two-Headed Man and Man-Thing, then rushed in front of Two-Headed Man at astonishing speed. Her glowing fist slammed viciously into his steel chest, sending him flying far away.

Carol then turned around and controlled the energy around her body, forming it into a massive spatial blade that slashed downward. Every incoming vine was severed and fell away.

Wang Bert had taught Carol this technique of turning energy into weapons.

With its vines cut apart, Man-Thing blinked and released even more vines toward Carol. At the same time, Two-Headed Man, who had been sent flying, returned as if nothing had happened, his fists raining down on Carol like cannonballs.

"Looks like you two are tough opponents. Then I’ll deal with you first."

Carol snorted. The light around her body intensified, and even against two opponents, she did not fall behind. She sent Two-Headed Man flying around repeatedly and severed Man-Thing’s vines one after another.

Seeing Ares and the others hold back Carol and Thor, the Supreme Intelligence let out a huge sigh of relief and began focusing on freeing the controlled Kree aboard the Dark Sky.

Besides the Dark Sky, there were many main ships nearby waiting for the Supreme Intelligence’s rescue. This was undoubtedly an enormous undertaking, and even the Supreme Intelligence needed a great deal of time to complete it.

It was worth mentioning that the Supreme Intelligence could only rescue Kree aboard main ships. It could not do the same for ordinary warships and fighters, because it lacked the necessary instruments.

Under the Supreme Intelligence’s efforts, the Kree Empire’s situation improved slightly, but only slightly. The battle between both sides grew more and more intense, with ships and fighters exploding everywhere.

Frank looked over the battlefield and asked through the communicator, "It’s about time. Shuri, is everything okay on your end?"

"No problem. Although the Dark Sky has activated quantum interference, with our technology, they can’t stop us at all."

Shuri said smugly, "Tetanus and the others can teleport in at any time."

In the control room, the Sovereign looked at Shuri in dissatisfaction. Their technology? Clearly, it was Sovereign technology. Even the instruments were theirs.

Shuri snorted and could not be bothered with them. The technology she had learned was naturally hers.

"Very good. Dr. Banner, you can move out now."

Frank said, "Make sure that Antimatter Cannon is dealt with."

That was right. The ones truly meant to deal with the Antimatter Cannon were not Carol and Thor. They were only bait. Frank’s real trump card was Hulk and the others.
