Chapter 269 [Two Chapters Combined] A cornered dog will jump over the wall
Of course, while feeling secretly saddened that the radical faction to which he belonged had completely reached its end...
Nick Fury knew perfectly well that, in the current state of the world, no one could stop Spider-Man.
Having lost all his leverage, staying in S.H.I.E.L.D. would be tantamount to waiting for death, and he would eventually die at the hands of Spider-Man, just like the previous Nick Fury.
This instantly filled Nick Fury with the fear of death, and in his hazy state of mind, he seemed to see his life entering its final countdown.
Terrified, Nick Fury completely lost his usual ambition to rule the entire Earth, a fact he held dear in the heart of the Skrull radicals' stronghold. He was now trembling uncontrollably, wondering if he should take advantage of Spider-Man's momentary distraction and abandon his identity as Nick Fury, transforming into an ordinary Earthling and escaping the conflict.
Although this would certainly put the Skrull radicals in an even worse situation without Nick Fury's support...
At this critical juncture, if they don't find a way to protect themselves, they'll all die at Spider-Man's hands sooner or later!
At a time like this, we should try to escape as many people as possible; we don't care what others think of us!
Oh, no, I should say...
This isn't running away, nor is it betraying my teammates...
Rather, it was to preserve the future of the Skrulls and to endure humiliation to preserve the flame of the radical spirit!
Yes, that's right, that's exactly it...!
Hehe! I must survive!
With this thought in mind, Nick Fury, who had already made up his mind to escape in the chaos, gradually became crazed.
Completely unaware that in this office, which should have been empty except for him, a ninja soldier wielding a sharp blade had silently emerged from the shadows at some point.
The next second, with a flash of cold light, the ninja soldier simply raised his hand and swiftly beheaded Nick Fury, who was immersed in the beautiful fantasy of living on and continuing to enjoy life!
Clearly, Riley had anticipated Nick Fury's intentions and waited until Nick Fury had driven all the legitimate S.H.I.E.L.D. members to the side and lost all remaining usefulness before ordering the lurking ninja soldiers to end his sinful life!
However, just as the ninja soldiers completed their mission and were preparing to slip into the shadows and leave...
Because of the end of life, the headless Skrull corpse could no longer maintain its disguise and reverted to its original form. Suddenly, a series of vibrations came from the pocket of its shirt.
Once the ninja soldier faithfully reports this situation to Riley and establishes a mental connection with him, Riley will be able to see what is happening through the ninja soldier's eyes.
Under Riley's orders, the ninja soldiers returned to the Skrull's corpse. After bending down and groping around for a while, they retrieved the cell phone that the corpse was carrying.
He then took the Skrull's hand and tested it one by one while it was still warm. After unlocking the phone's screen lock with his fingerprint, the ninja soldier opened the message he had just received and, with a flicker of his crimson eyes, shared everything he had seen with Riley without reservation.
And the message itself is actually quite simple...
However, it was enough to cause Riley's murderous intent and evil thoughts, which he had managed to suppress, to erupt once again.
"Based on intelligence provided by our inside source, we have located the current position of the other Spider-Man [real name: Peter Parker]. The exact coordinates have been sent. You are ordered to immediately arrange for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to cooperate with us in this operation! At all costs, we must capture him before the black Spider-Man returns to defend the area!"
"Note that the situation is critical, and the target's strength should not be underestimated. In this operation, there's no need to show mercy. Just keep Spider-Man alive so he can serve as a hostage!"
"If necessary, Peter Parker's limbs can be severed to eliminate any possibility of resistance or struggle!"
Clearly, the Skrull radical leader, who was constantly monitoring the changing situation, also realized that he was like a grasshopper in autumn, with little time left to hop around.
However, until this moment, he stubbornly believed that he was the leader of the Skrull radical faction on the side of justice, and he could not accept that his meticulously planned "secret invasion" plan, which should have been flawless, was so easily destroyed by Riley!
Therefore, just like Nick Fury's mental breakdown...
The Skrull radical leader, seemingly willing to take a desperate gamble, using Peter as a hostage for a final negotiation with Riley...
In fact, his words are filled with a frenzied desire for revenge!
After all, through so much observation and research on "Spider-Man," he certainly knew that doing this would only further enrage Riley...
He also understood that even if Peter were taken hostage, Riley would not let him go. After rescuing Peter, he would use even more insane and terrible methods to torture him, and all the Skrulls, to a fate worse than death!
Therefore, the final operational order sent to Nick Fury was actually a mixture of truth and falsehood.
Clearly, after observing from the shadows and discovering that Talos, the publicly acknowledged leader of the Skrulls, not only failed to help their radical faction but also sided with the "enemy," Spider-Man, the radical leader, whose mentality had completely crumbled, no longer cared about his own survival...
All he can think about now is how to get revenge on Riley!
Killing Riley's most cherished family members, so that Riley would live in pain and regret for the rest of his life, was undoubtedly the most effective method!
As for whether doing so might cause Riley, in his rage, to wipe out all the radicals and then turn his anger on the innocent Skrulls, thus eradicating all the Skrulls lurking on Earth...
Ha, even now that things have come to this, I haven't seen you willing to lend a helping hand, completely disregarding our kinship.
Then don't blame me for dragging you down with me!
Even if I die, I'll take someone down with me!
Since I can't go on living, then you bunch of cowards who only know how to swallow your anger won't live either—!!!
It can be said that this desperate, reckless, base-stealing tactic is indeed a good strategy under these circumstances.
Unfortunately, the radical leader, despite his meticulous planning, did not anticipate that Riley was even more extreme, sending a ninja soldier to monitor Nick Fury around the clock! Moreover, before the plan could be implemented, he beheaded and assassinated Nick Fury, the only person who could mobilize S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Therefore, they learned of this news through the shared vision of the ninja soldiers.
Riley, who was sitting in the helicopter chatting and laughing with Steve, Coulson, and Thor, discussing their next move, suddenly paused for a moment before his body began to emit a dark aura and visible sparks of electricity flickering on his skin.
Even the skin on the surface of the body changes back and forth between the bluish-black of the Shadow Legion and the black and white color scheme of Martin Lee's films.
The corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and a bright, healthy, and kind smile that he couldn't help but radiate was so frightening that Coulson and Thor hugged each other tightly, not daring to make eye contact with Riley at all!
Talos, piloting the helicopter, was drenched in sweat. Judging from the current situation, he immediately guessed that those radical bastards had come up with some new trick to court death! Talos was both angry and anxious, wishing he could instantly teleport to their side and personally cut off their dog's head to appease Riley's raging fury!
Therefore, after only a few breaths, as the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, everyone dared not breathe, for fear of offending Riley and incurring his wrath.
Only the kind-hearted Steve, having spent little time with Riley and lacking understanding of her, mistakenly believed that Riley was indeed the kind-hearted "friendly neighbor" as rumored.
After witnessing the changes in Riley, he naturally concluded that Riley must have been ambushed during his rescue attempt. Looking guilty and remorseful, he instinctively stepped forward, wanting to see if there was anything he could do to help Riley.
This was a well-intentioned act, but it truly terrified Thor and the others, causing their hearts to stop! In their hearts, they exclaimed that Steve was indeed amazing, daring to go over there. At the same time, in just a few breaths, they were mentally prepared to abandon the helicopter and jump out of the cabin to save their lives if Steve angered Riley!
"Smack—!!!"
At that moment, when the tension was at its peak and time seemed to stand still.
Before Steve could say anything, Riley suddenly raised his hands and slapped himself hard across the face again and again, muttering something under his breath.
Unfortunately, Riley wasn't speaking English, which he usually used.
Rather, it originates from the depths of my soul and has never been forgotten—the Chinese language.
Thor and Steve, who knew nothing about Chinese, were relieved when Riley's emotions quickly stabilized and his skin returned to normal after he muttered something to himself, but they didn't understand why.
Thor even thought that, like his father Odin who had cast a spell on his hammer to limit his divine power, Riley was forcibly sealing himself away with a spell to prevent him from going out of control, and he was deeply moved. He believed that even if Riley's personality had changed drastically, he was still the trustworthy hero he always was!
Only Coulson and Talos, as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents fluent in multiple languages for the sake of their work, understood what Riley was saying. They exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions strange and complex.
Because what Riley just recited wasn't some obscure, difficult-to-understand, but powerful spell.
Instead, it's a self-hypnotic repetition of short phrases.
"Don't get carried away, don't get carried away, don't get carried away..."
"Mom and Dad are still alive, Mom and Dad are still alive, Mom and Dad are still alive..."
"Peter can solve it, Peter can solve it, Peter can solve it..."
"We cannot destroy the world, we cannot destroy the world, we cannot destroy the world..."
Clearly, Riley, who was once consumed by rage and murderous intent, was repeatedly reminding himself that his family was safe and that Peter was not as easy to bully as outsiders perceived him to be.
To avoid completely losing control and doing something so foolish as to sacrifice a bright future filled with limitless possibilities for a path to ruin, all for a path to destruction and a future where one side is destroyed and the other is wiped out—a clearly disastrous trade!
That's why, after listening carefully to what Riley said...
Both Coulson and Talos gasped in surprise.
Well, they hadn't been unaware that if they really offended Spider-Man, the consequences could be very serious...
But I never imagined it would get this serious!
Bro, destroying the world? No way, really no way!
Because of their understanding of Riley, they believed that Riley truly had the ability to destroy the entire world, which led the two of them to make a firm decision after regaining their senses...
In the following operations, we must not only do our utmost to assist Riley, but also obey all of Riley's arrangements...
Most importantly, we must do everything in our power to completely crush those radicals before they do any more self-destructive foolish things!
……
The scene shifts to Tony's seaside villa.
With the help of Riley's top-notch team, Tony completed the Mark II Iron Man suit in less than half a month!
The only drawback was a slight disagreement regarding the pattern and paint scheme of the suits.
Although in the original storyline, Tony ultimately decided on a red and gold color scheme for his suit, which became a timeless classic.
However, because of this universe, Spider-Man appeared first.
This made Tony, who was always used to being unconventional, not want to clash with the red and blue suit that Peter originally wore.
Therefore, from the very beginning, red was removed from the color scheme of the Mark II.
Tony, who is wealthy and powerful, after putting aside the fiery red color, only thought for a moment and then naturally wanted to paint the suit a pure gold color that suited his rich status!
However, Dr. Otto felt that pure gold armor detracted from the aesthetic appeal of the Iron Man suit. It even gave the Iron Man suit, a product of everyone's hard work, a vulgar, commercial stench.
Not only did they lead the way in rejecting Tony's decision, but they also suggested that Tony focus on a technological feel and paint the suit silver-white or pure black to highlight the metallic texture and the unique aesthetic of technology!
With Otto taking the lead, others also began to express their opinions.
Even Banner, who is usually unassuming, wanted to stand up for Hulk and suggested that the Iron Man suit be painted the same bright green as Hulk's!
And it was precisely because of this that, amidst their heated arguments and differing opinions, the crowd clearly failed to notice…
At some point, a large number of strangers began to gather outside Tony's villa...
As mentioned before, the radical members of the Skrulls, under the influence of their leader, have come to us with a death wish!
