Because Nick Fury had the idea of concealing the existence of a 'minor agent' from the World Security Council, Daisy's information was not recorded in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files. Naturally, the research department had no way to arrange equipment for her, and even her 'salary' depended on Nick Fury's mood.
More importantly, Daisy hasn't received any messages from Nick Fury in a long time, and she has no idea what the situation is like at the top of S.H.I.E.L.D.
“After this is over, come work with us. Nick Fury is unreliable,” Tony said, looking at Daisy who was complaining about S.H.I.E.L.D.
Peter covered his head and said nervously, "Oh my god, am I about to experience my first superhero mission?"
Jessica, dressed in her battle gear, leaned against the wall, her gaze fixed on the booth not far away.
Li Ai sat in the middle of the chair, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly doing nothing. To his right was Nancy, who sat ramrod straight. The two were wearing the same type of secret agent uniform; Nancy wore tactical goggles, while Li Ai wore a one-way helmet.
To the left of the chair was Ada, who wasn't chatting with Leon but was carefully examining the exoskeleton armor.
Feeling a little nervous, Nancy grabbed Li Ai's hand. Startled awake, the latter smiled slightly and comforted her:
"It's okay, I'm here."
"Mmm," Nancy responded softly, but her fingers clenched even tighter.
At this moment, Steve Rogers, wearing a new combat suit, came to the center of the arena, where the DJ control panel was originally used to explain tactical arrangements and give motivational speeches.
Steve wore the vibranium shield on his hand, and his overall combat suit was dark, with only the white five-pointed star pattern on his chest standing out.
Steve explained the tactical arrangements, then raised his round shield and addressed all the participants with great emotion:
"Today, we stand here to fight for our countless fellow Earthlings. Our mission is to stop the Skrulls and rescue the hostages. No matter what happens, remember, we are not fighting alone!"
Peter straightened up as he listened, his eyes behind the mask shining brightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sorcerer King, Kaecilius, and Dr. Banner, who had arrived from Kamar-Taj, opened the portal together.
The three portals corresponded to different locations. The three main attack teams crossed the portals, and Dr. Pym, watching their departing figures, remarked:
"Good luck to you."
Chapter 105 The First Battle Against Gravity
The golden sparks from the portal slowly dissipated behind the four, and the smell of the sewers entered their nostrils, making them feel slightly uncomfortable.
This is deep within the San Francisco sewers, and also the site of a Skrull base.
Li Ai placed the codec, which the three scientists had jointly created, on the wall. An invisible pulse propagated into the wall, initially affecting the Skrull base's defense system and preparing for the subsequent hacking. He then spoke into the communication channel:
"Team C has arrived at the designated location, and the decryption device is ready."
"Team A received," Steve said cautiously. "The decoder is functioning normally, and the signal jamming module is loading."
"Team B received." Banner's voice followed immediately.
The next moment, all three decryptors went into full power. A string of green code flashed on the screen of the decryptor in Li Ai's hand, and a hidden door nearby slid open to both sides under the action of hydraulic rods.
The cold, metallic corridor stretched into the distance, its walls lined with crisscrossing pipes, and a low, mechanical hum could be heard in the distance, like some kind of large machine in continuous operation.
The decryption device can buy about fifteen minutes, during which time all security measures at the Skrull base will be taken offline, and even distress signals cannot be sent out.
Li Ai looked into the depths of the metal corridor and said, "Everyone has seen the internal structure of this base. You all go directly to rescue the hostages, and I will advance from the front to draw attention."
“Is there anything else you need to tell me?” Nancy asked.
“Yes.” Li Ai took out a black box that looked about the size of a brick and handed it to Nancy. “This is a signal transmitter researched by the logistics team. As long as the switch is pressed, the mages in the villa can lock onto the coordinates.”
“Let’s go.” Ada took the lead and walked to the right, with Nancy and Jessica following closely behind.
The three figures quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Li Ai took a deep breath, turned around and walked straight ahead. Steve's voice came through the communication channel, confirming the mission progress.
"All squads report their status. Team A is all normal."
"Team B is in position. I'm climbing the pipes with the two spider-type ability users," Banner's voice rang out.
"Team C is progressing well."
Li Ai strode into the depths of the base, her footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
As he went deeper, he saw more and more Skrull script on the walls. The distorted symbols were sprayed on the metal surface. Based on the knowledge they had extracted from the Skrull technicians, Li Ai could roughly identify them as slogans used to boost morale.
The gist of it is that Skrull is above all else, the new home is right under our feet, and sacrificing oneself for the Queen is the highest honor.
Just then, Li Ai suddenly stopped, the driver appeared on his chest, and he held the gravity capsule in his hand.
At the end of the corridor ahead, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
It was a tall Skrull, at least two and a half meters tall, with bulging muscles and dark green skin. He had a pair of curved antlers on his head, rugged facial features, and two curved fangs protruding from the corners of his mouth. He was clearly a super Skrull who was inclined towards combat.
"The Queen is right. You humans are indeed not going to sit idly by and wait to die."
Li Ai also heard a series of hurried footsteps, probably Skrull soldiers coming to provide support, so he loaded the gravity capsule into the driver.
【Gravity!】
"In that case, the mission is: Destroy the enemy, Henshin!"
Awaken! Awaken! Awaken!
The black and purple mist spread out from the driver as its core. The soldiers following behind the Super Skrull arrived at the scene at this time. They pulled the triggers of their blast guns, and energy bullets pierced through the black and purple mist.
【Good Morning! Rider! Z?Z?Z! Gravity! 】
The moment the mechanical voice faded, the fog dissipated, revealing Li Ai's new form.
The flying energy bullets seemed to have hit an invisible wall, all hovering half a meter in front of Li Ai. The energy bullets trembled slightly in the air, but no matter what they did, they could not move forward even a centimeter.
This form appears somewhat frail, with a body that is a mix of black and purple, mysterious curved patterns on its chest, and its hands covered by hemispherical gloves.
Li Aiping raised his right arm and suddenly spread his five fingers wide.
The dozen or so energy bullets hovering in the air simultaneously changed direction and shot in the opposite direction at an even faster speed than when they came, accurately hitting their original owners.
"Ugh!"
The muffled thuds of energy bullets hitting bodies and the screams of pain echoed through the corridor. Several Skrull soldiers collapsed to the ground, their combat uniforms charred with bullet holes and wisps of smoke rising from their skin.
The grotesque-looking Super Skrull glanced back at his fallen comrades, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, and commanded:
"Get out of here quickly, I'll deal with this human."
As they spoke, wisps of cold air spread outwards, and the temperature in the corridor dropped significantly. A thin layer of frost even formed on the walls, and white frost appeared even under Li Ai's feet.
"Yes, sir."
One of the Skrulls, whose injuries were not too serious, responded and then prepared to lead his people away from the area.
But at that moment, a force appeared out of nowhere and crushed the Skrull soldiers into a bloody pulp from above.
Upon seeing this, the grotesque Super Skrull was enraged. Thick white mane sprouted from its skin, and its hands transformed into enormous claws. It roared:
"I, Maleki, will make you pay the price!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Maleki's figure shot out like a cannonball, but when he was halfway through his sprint, his figure suddenly disappeared.
When Maleki reappeared, his towering figure appeared behind Li Ai. A puff of white vapor spewed from his mouth, instantly turning Li Ai into an ice sculpture. Then, he raised his enormous claws and slammed Li Ai away.
The ice sculpture tumbled through the air before crashing into the wall at the end of the corridor. The reaction force shattered the ice sculpture, and a cloud of white mist dissipated, fueling Maleki's arrogant thoughts.
"Is that all you've got? That guy Gravik actually called you our strongest opponent, he's..."
"Is this all there is to it? You'd have trouble even adding ice to party drinks." Li Ai's calm voice came from the white mist.
Maleki's smile froze on his face, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
As the icy fog gradually dissipated, Li Ai was seen leaning against the recessed wall, looking quite relaxed.
"What on earth is going on?" Maleki was both shocked and furious. The temperature in the corridor dropped several degrees, and ice spikes even grew on the ceiling.
“Simply put, you missed.” Li Ai spread his hands and said calmly, “You just think you’ve frozen me up, but you’re actually still some distance away.”
Chapter 106 Rescuing the Hostages
This form differs from the pure violence of the impact form, and also from the flexible manipulation of the surging form; instead, it directly manipulates gravity.
Li Ai can fine-tune the direction of gravity as needed. He can isolate most of the damage by simply setting up a gravity field around his body.
That's why Li Ai said the opponent's attack was just a little short of hitting him.
However, Maleki is also a battle-hardened Skrull warrior and will not easily admit defeat.
"Hmph, someone with your ability must be able to maintain precise control. As long as I can't catch you in time, your ability will be useless!"
Before he could finish speaking, Maleki's eyes narrowed, and his figure vanished once again into a chilling mist.
After the recent exchange, Li Ai guessed that Maleki had the ability to teleport through the frost and immediately thought of a mysterious creature called the Wendigo.
The Wendigo is an evil spirit that roams in extremely cold regions. It seeks out people who, in desperation, devour their own kind and possess them, turning them into a deer-headed, human-bodied evil spirit.
The opponent's ability to move through the frost should come from a Wendigo, but it's hard to say whether it has other abilities.
“Although you can move freely through these ice formations, you need a physical body to launch an attack, right?” Li Ai raised his hand and created a compressed gravity ball, causing the surrounding air to hum.
The surrounding frost flew towards the gravity sphere, where it was completely crushed until it disappeared.
Seeing that the amount of frost available for transfer was dwindling, Maleki decided to take a gamble. He instantly appeared to Li Ai's left and launched an attack against the force of gravity.
Seeing that Maleki was still able to launch an attack on him, Li Ai immediately increased the output of the gravity ball.
In an instant, Maleki's figure flew rapidly toward the gravity ball and was finally locked on.
"Oh no!" Maleki realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
Li Ai squeezed his right hand, and the gravity ball exploded instantly. The powerful force struck Maleki's entire body, causing him to kneel on the ground in pain.
When Maleki stood up again, Li Ai had already disappeared before his eyes.
"You don't think you're that strong, do you? If that guy who's glowing with gold could come, he might be able to keep me busy with his attacks so I wouldn't have time to maintain my precise gravity control. But... you can't."
Li Ai's cold voice rang out behind Maleki. The 'golden-glowing guy' he was referring to was Gravik, whose strength was indeed undeniable.
Li Ai stepped forward with his left foot, pinning Maleki's joint, and gripped Maleki's shoulder tightly with his right hand. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he tore off one of his opponent's arms.
Maleki's entire left arm was torn off, and blood splattered everywhere. He began to frantically shake his body, trying to get rid of Li Ai.
But Li Ai simply placed his hand on Maleki's back, continuously applying pressure until he finally crushed his opponent to death.
After eliminating his first opponent, Li Ai began to venture deeper into the base. He needed to buy time for the hostage evacuation and attract as many Super Skrulls as possible from within the base.
Meanwhile, at Base One.
Steve, Tony, and Daisy are engaged in a fierce battle with the Skrull guards. They have located the hostages and used the locator to have the Wizard of King open a portal.
"How many hostages have been transferred?" Tony asked, firing his palm cannon while dodging energy bullets in mid-air.
"Give me a little more time; two-thirds have already been transferred." Master Wang was using magic to simultaneously transfer multiple hibernation pods containing humans.
Steve threw the vibranium shield, which bounced several times before knocking down several Skrull soldiers. "Go ahead and do it, we'll buy you time!"
"No problem." Tony's missile pods opened on his shoulders, and six miniature missiles roared out. "Enough firepower!"
"No matter how many they come, we'll fight them all!" Daisy pressed her hands to the ground, and a powerful shockwave spread along the ground, blasting away all the Skrull soldiers who rushed over.
Base No. 2
Banner's Hulk phantom is entangled in a battle with a group of Skrull soldiers. Peter's spider-sense allows him to precisely dodge attacks while using electrified webs to entangle his enemies.
Although Gwen was slightly weaker than Peter, she was faster. She moved swiftly among the enemies, occasionally shooting out webs to distract them, and then leaving the task to Peter or Banner.
"Ghost Spider, watch out behind you!" Peter suddenly shouted.
As if seeing the same scene, the two simultaneously shot out spider silk, then launched themselves forward, kicking the Skrull unconscious.
“Thanks, Spider-Man,” Gwen said.
“You’re welcome.” Peter shot out a ball of spider silk, covering the Skrull’s face with it. “After all, that’s called… teamwork.”
Base No. 3
Li Ai stood in a corridor riddled with bullet holes and charred explosion marks. Three Super Skrulls lay sprawled at his feet, their bodies, compressed by extreme gravity, unrecognizable from their original forms.
"There are so many Super Skrulls in this base." He felt that the base must have the highest defense level, and then shouted into the communication channel:
"Female Knight, have you started transferring the hostages over there?"
“Mage Cassilia is helping us, but we’ve also been spotted by a group of Skrulls. Lord Six and Mrs. Scott are covering us,” Jessica replied, her voice punctuated by the sounds of ongoing explosions.
"I'm coming to your aid right now." Li Ai began moving towards the other three.
