I'm having a blast in Marvel!

Then he pulled the trigger.

boom! boom! boom!

He emptied the remaining bullets from the magazine into the alien creature's skull in one go.

The bullet exploded from the inside, instantly turning the Naskrull's head into a gooey mixture of green blood and white brain matter, with red, white, and green splattering everywhere.

Its enormous body crashed to the ground, convulsed violently a few times, and then its disguise faded, revealing its original ugly appearance with green skin and long, pointed ears.

Chu Hang, hands on his knees, was breathing heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows. The series of swift movements he had just made had almost exhausted the little strength he had just recovered. He could feel the cosmic energy within him, which had been dormant for fifty years, beginning to ache again because of this intense exercise, like a ball of scorching magma churning in his blood vessels.

He dared not linger, and with a stagger, he stood up, made his way around, and continued running toward the location of Zone B7.

The closer they got, the clearer the explosion and the strange energy fluctuations became, and the air itself seemed to tremble slightly.

When he finally arrived at the outskirts of Zone B7, the sight before him made him stop in his tracks and hide behind a huge shipping container.

This was a vast, open experimental area, resembling an aircraft hangar. The entire area was in complete chaos. Several oddly shaped Kree ships had crashed in different locations, their wreckage ablaze, billowing black smoke. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Kree commandos in green uniforms were engaged in a fierce and chaotic firefight, energy beams and physical bullets weaving a web of death.

In the very center of the hangar, a small experimental aircraft had crashed, its fuselage broken in two, with dangerous sparks flashing from the wreckage.

A blonde woman in a green flight suit was struggling to her feet. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes held an unusually stubborn and defiant look.

Not far from her lay another woman, her abdomen severely injured, her clothes soaked in blood, and she was clearly not going to survive.

Opposite them, a man also dressed in a Kree uniform, with an arrogant expression, was slowly walking towards them. His eyes were cold, carrying a cat-and-mouse playfulness and a sense of control.

Yon Rogers! Carol Danvers! Mar-Will!

All the key figures have arrived! This is a pivotal moment in history!

Chu Hang's heart began to pound uncontrollably, as if it were about to leap out of his throat. He pressed himself tightly against the cold container, staring intently at everything in the room, his breath almost stopping.

He saw Mar-Will, with her last breath, say something to Carol before she died.

Then, he saw Carole turn around, her eyes shifting from confusion to determination. She raised the pistol in her hand and aimed it at the damaged engine of the experimental aircraft wreckage, which was flashing with a ghostly blue light and constantly leaking terrifying energy.

Light Speed ​​Engine! The Energy Core of the Cosmic Cube!

"No..." Chu Hang instinctively tried to shout. He wanted to say, "Don't shoot, you idiot! You should shoot that man, not that engine!"

But he swallowed those two words back, locking them firmly in his throat.

Because he knew that this shot had to be fired.

This is Carol Danvers' destiny to transform into Captain Marvel, and it is also the key to whether Chu Hang can break free from his cage and truly live on!

Just as Carroll's eyes turned incredibly resolute, and she was about to pull the trigger...

The violent energy within Chu Hang's body, which had been dormant for fifty years and originated from the Cosmic Cube, seemed to be strongly attracted and resonated with by some kind of same source force, and began to buzz and tremble wildly at an unprecedented frequency!

It was a feeling that defied description, as if every cell in the body was awakening, yearning, cheering, and welcoming an impending feast of destruction and rebirth.

The intense pain tore at his nerves, but deep within this extreme agony lay a strange, intoxicating comfort.

This is a harbinger of destruction, but it also foreshadows the arrival of new life.

Chu Hang clenched his teeth so tightly that his gums bled, and his eyes were bloodshot from extreme excitement and unbearable pain.

He peered through the gaps in the container, staring intently at the blonde woman, watching her slender fingers slowly and firmly pull down the trigger.

The entire world was completely engulfed by a dazzling, pure, all-consuming, deep blue light.

[Add to bookshelf, follow updates promptly, and receive extra chapters if you urge for more!]

Chapter 58 This deal was a winning gamble.

Time is stretched infinitely in this moment, and then compressed into an almost invisible singularity in the next instant.

The moment Carol pulled the trigger, the world fell into absolute silence. All the explosions, gunshots, and screams were instantly swallowed up by an invisible and domineering force, as if they had never existed.

Then came the light.

It was a pure, indescribable, ethereal blue light that exploded with a deafening roar, centered on the collapsing light-speed engine. It wasn't illuminating the world; it was devouring it. Everything in sight—the burning wreckage of the spaceship, the soldiers exchanging fire, the running agents, even the bewildered and furious expression on Yon Rogge's face—lost its original color and shape in this blue light, transforming into distorted silhouettes before completely dissolving.

Chu Hang hid behind the container, but the blue light seemed to pierce through the thick steel plate and be directly imprinted on his retina. He felt as if he wasn't being shone with light, but rather being slammed into by an oncoming train traveling at the speed of light, his body and soul disintegrating in the silent impact.

The terrifying energy shockwave finally arrived belatedly. The multi-ton container where he was hiding, like a soda can kicked away by a naughty child, let out a piercing metallic groan, and was forcibly moved backward more than ten meters, crashing heavily into the wall of the hangar, smashing a huge dent into the solid wall.

Chu Hang was trapped between the container and the wall, his bones seemingly groaning in agony. An ordinary person would have been reduced to a pile of minced meat by now. But his bones, enhanced by the super soldier serum, and the tenacious healing power of his self-healing factor allowed him to endure the impact.

However, this physical impact was insignificant compared to the dramatic changes taking place inside his body.

The Cosmic Cube energy that had raged within him for fifty years now, like a swarm of sharks smelling blood, had completely gone berserk. It was no longer randomly crashing and destroying, but rather, like a volcano finding an outlet, it surged and converged wildly in one direction!

The extreme pain, like a tidal wave bursting its banks, instantly overwhelmed every nerve in Chu Hang's body. He felt his body being torn apart from the inside, every cell screaming, burning, and disintegrating. It was a torment purer than death, a terror of having his very existence erased.

But just on the verge of destruction, the system that had been dormant for so long and almost forgotten by him suddenly reacted.

[Warning! Warning! A high-level energy entity of the same origin has been detected!]

[Energy Protocol...Forced...Buzz...Activation!]

The system's sound was no longer the usual monotonous mechanical tone, but was filled with piercing electrical noise and intermittent stuttering, like an old radio about to burn out, emitting a hoarse cry in its final moments.

Chu Hang's consciousness had been almost blurred by the pain, but he clung to the most important words in the message: "high-level energy body of the same origin".

[Do you... copy target: Carol Danvers... current state: Binary Form (nascent)?]

[Warning: Host... *sizzle*... physical condition is extremely unstable! Forcibly replicating... will... have a very high probability of causing... complete collapse of the energy structure... *sizzle*... annihilation!]

[WARNING: System core...severely damaged...this replication will...consume all backup power...leading to system...forced hibernation...]

A series of warnings flashed wildly through Chu Hang's mind like the dying cries of a dying man, each word carrying the chill of death.

But Chu Hang was no longer listening.

Collapse? Annihilation?

Damn it, what's the difference between me and collapse and annihilation right now? If I don't gamble this time, once this chaos is over, those guys in white coats at S.H.I.E.L.D. will cut me into ten thousand pieces and make me into specimens for people to study!

Go to sleep if you want! As long as I can live, you can format me right now!

This was his only chance. It was his only, and final, chance to awaken from his icy slumber in this unfamiliar world!

He didn't utter a sound, but those two words, spoken with all his willpower, resounded like thunder deep within his own soul.

"Copy it for me!"

[Command... Confirm...]

[Initiating replication... binary form...]

The next second, a brand new, equally vast and powerful energy seemed to transcend the barriers of space, being forcibly extracted from the center of that dark blue light and then savagely poured into Chu Hang's body!

If the original Cosmic Cube energy within Chu Hang's body was an unruly, destructive primordial beast, then the newly arrived energy, belonging to the "binary star form," was a highly skilled and experienced top-tier beast tamer.

The moment the two forces that originated from the same source met within his body, instead of a more terrifying explosion, a strange chemical reaction occurred.

"Uhhhhhh-!"

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a suppressed, agonizing roar. He curled up into a ball, his veins bulging like writhing earthworms from his neck and forehead. Beneath his skin, countless ribbons of light seemed to be flowing wildly, sometimes dark blue, sometimes crimson gold, illuminating his body with flickering light and shadow, making him look like an energy body about to explode.

This pain far surpasses the agony of being torn apart by the energy of the Cosmic Cube, and far exceeds the loneliness of being frozen for fifty years. It is the excruciating pain of life being forcibly reshaped at its most fundamental level, the ultimate torture of having the genetic chain dismantled and then reassembled.

But Chu Hang's will was clearer than ever before at this moment.

He could clearly "see" how the new energy gradually enveloped, permeated, and decomposed the violent primal energy, then re-woven and recombined it according to a completely new and mysterious structure that he couldn't understand. Just like...

I don't know how much time has passed; perhaps a century, perhaps just a moment.

The excruciating pain slowly receded like the tide. In its place came an unprecedented and indescribably powerful feeling.

He could sense that as long as he had a thought, this power could surge forth according to his will and destroy everything in front of him.

[Fusion...beginning...energy structure...reorganizing...]

[Fusion completed. 】

[WARNING: System core overload... Forced hibernation... Reboot time... Unknown...]

In my mind, the system's voice let out a final, faint lament before falling completely silent. The familiar system interface also dimmed and vanished without a trace.

Chu Hang slowly unfurled his curled-up body and gradually stood up from the ground. His bones emitted a soft crackling sound, a testament to his rebirth after being reshaped.

He looked down at his hands.

A faint, burning golden light seeped from beneath his skin, forming a thin halo around his body. A few playful blue arcs of electricity, like tiny snakes, leaped and flickered at his fingertips, emitting a soft crackling sound.

The ground beneath his feet, centered on him, was charred black, as if it had been scorched by invisible flames.

He won this high-stakes gamble that was a matter of life and death.

Just then, the blinding light inside the hangar finally began to dissipate, and visibility gradually returned to normal.

Chu Hang's eyes sharpened, and almost instinctively, he focused all his attention, trying to control the uncontrollable energy leaking from his body.

"Go back! All of you, get the hell back!" he roared inwardly.

The golden flame flickered a few times, then reluctantly and slowly retreated beneath his skin. The arc of electricity at his fingertips also disappeared with a "sizzle."

After doing all this, Chu Hang felt like he had run a marathon, and the feeling of exhaustion washed over him again. He didn't dare to linger, and with a quick movement, he hid behind the deformed container again, only peeking out half his head to warily observe the situation outside.

The hangar was in complete disarray.

At the epicenter of the explosion, a huge, shallow, circular crater was melted into the ground, its edges smooth as a mirror, and wisps of smoke were still rising from it.

Carol Danvers lay in the center of the shallow pit, her body charred black, unconscious, with only the faint rise and fall of her chest proving that she was still alive.

A little further away, Nick Fury and Coulson were scrambling to their feet from behind a bunker, their faces covered in dust and lingering fear, staring in disbelief at the surreal scene.

The Kree commander, Yon Rogge, was thrown more than ten meters by the shockwave. He was now shaking his head and struggling to his feet. He glanced at the mess around him, then at the unconscious Carol, a ruthless and decisive glint in his eyes.

He ignored the Kree subordinates who were still fighting with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and walked straight toward Carol, his target clear.

Chu Hang watched this scene from the shadows, clenching his fists tightly.

He knew what Yon Rogge was going to do next. He would take Carol away, bring her back to Hala, erase her memories, implant a false past in her, and then turn her into the Kree Empire's sharpest weapon—"Firth." A manipulated, living weapon used to fight for the Empire.

Should we stop him?

The thought flashed through Chu Hang's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

He glanced at his still slightly trembling hands. His current condition was extremely poor; he had absolutely no idea how to use the newly merged energy. Charging out to fight a battle-hardened elite Kree commander would be tantamount to suicide. Moreover, although the energy within him had been tamed, his physical exhaustion was undeniable.

Moreover, once exposed, this "energy source," even more enigmatic than Carol's, would likely immediately become the primary target of both the Kree and S.H.I.E.L.D. He would then face pursuit from both sides, with no peace whatsoever.
