In Nick Fury's eyes, Talos slowly reverted to his green-skinned form and said indifferently:
"From today onwards, Earth will belong to us Skrulls. Remember, you owe me this, you owe all of us Skrulls, Nick!"
Reverting to his original form and shedding his disguise represented Talos showing Nick Fury the determination behind his words.
The determination to completely break ties with humanity!
Having spoken, under Nick Fury's shocked and angry gaze, Talos, back in his Skrull form, released Nick Fury's collar, letting him fall weightlessly downward!
Smack ——————
But just as Nick Fury, the legendary King of Agents, was about to die from a reckless fall, a powerful hand grabbed the falling Nick Fury at the critical moment!
This sudden appearance of a hand startled both of them.
At the same time, both couldn't help but look at the owner of this hand together, and what they saw was a face that surprised them both!
Blond hair, blue eyes, a handsome face full of righteousness, and that iconic Star-spangled blue suit and shield—it was Captain America himself, Steve Rogers!
"Captain!"
Seeing Captain America's appearance not only overjoyed Nick Fury but also made Talos pale with shock!
Previously, Captain America, who had been brought back from the North Pole, was abducted by You-Know-Who. Nick Fury and he could never find him, leading to the eventual failure of the Avengers' plan.
Because of this, the Spider Family lacked the check and balance of another Superhero team, causing them to grow even stronger later on!
This led Nick Fury, under Talos's instigation, to have the idea of getting rid of Ryan Parker.
But just now, Nick Fury discovered Talos's true colors and realized that what the Skrulls wanted was not just revenge on Ryan, but to completely occupy Earth. He was now filled with late regret.
Now, just when he thought he had made an irreparable mistake and was about to pay for it with his life.
The leader of the Avengers he had once planned to use to balance the Spider Family, Captain America, actually saved his life at this critical moment. It was as dreamlike as a movie!
It seemed it was time for him to turn the tide!
Nick Fury, pulled up by Captain America, felt his fighting spirit reignite in his single eye. He commanded the Captain beside him: "Captain, he is a Skrull lurking on Earth, and now he wants to harm humanity. Arrest him!"
Hearing this, Captain America nodded, but his gaze didn't rest on Talos; instead, it fell on Nick Fury, as he said coldly:
"We will naturally deal with the Skrulls, but my target this time isn't him—it's you, Nick Fury."
"I am now officially notifying you, Nick Fury, that you are under arrest for colluding with an alien race and helping them hide on Earth, which is a serious violation of Earth Law."
Nick Fury: ?
Talos: ?
This sudden turn of events was unexpected not only for Nick Fury but even for Talos.
What kind of plot twist was this? The person who saved Nick Fury was actually here to arrest him?
Seeing that Captain America's attention wasn't on him, Talos slowly backed away, preparing to take the opportunity to slip away.
After all, although Skrull physiology generally surpassed that of ordinary humans, facing a Super Soldier like Captain America, he was well aware of his limits; he absolutely couldn't beat Captain America at all!
Therefore, after quietly taking two steps back, Talos turned and ran toward the office door!
As long as he left this office, there were many Skrull Agents planted by Nick Fury in the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the Triskelion. He wouldn't have to fear this Super Soldier at all!
But just as Talos's hand touched the doorknob, before he could pull it open, an accident suddenly occurred!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the next second, the office door was suddenly riddled with bullets, turning Talos behind the door into a sieve!
Talos looked at the door so close at hand and the dense bullet holes on his body, falling to the ground with confusion and resentment in his eyes.
Why? Why did God play with me like this? Just as I was about to succeed in my revenge and secure a new home for the Skrulls, I fell right before the final step...
Thud ——————
Under Nick Fury's shocked gaze, the office door was kicked open, and a fully armed Special Ops Team rushed in with guns. They first delivered finishing rounds to Talos's head and heart, then quickly fanned out to surround the office tightly.
Seeing that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Special Ops Team had arrived, Nick Fury, who had been stunned by Captain America's words, felt like he was back in control. His face regained its usual majesty as he ordered the Special Ops Team:
"You've come at the right time. The Captain is a bit delirious; lock him up first. Then gather all special ops members. I'll give you a list, and you will eliminate all the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents on that list on the spot!"
However, facing the order issued by their Director, not one of the Special Ops Team members moved.
Instead, one of the special ops members glanced at the communication watch on his wrist and spoke to Captain America beside him:
"Captain, Minister Pierce's order has come down. Security Council has issued the final judgment for Nick Fury, which is... eliminate him on the spot!"
Nick Fury: ????
I told you to eliminate the other Skrulls on the spot, and you say you're going to eliminate me on the spot?
Is there some mistake!
Hearing this, Captain America sighed and reached out to straighten the collar of Nick Fury's trench coat:
"Nick, no matter how big a mistake you made before, I always believed it was at least for the sake of humanity. But this time... you've disappointed me too much. So, leave with some dignity..."
Nick Fury looked at the Captain who said this in disbelief, clutching Captain America's hand tightly, a final glimmer of hope in his eyes:
"No, no, no, I can still make up for all of this, and you wouldn't really do this, right? You're not the kind of person who would take someone's life at will, Captain!"
However, Captain America's eyes were already full of disappointment: "No, Nick, you have no idea what you've done. You can't make up for anything. You've always wanted to control power you simply cannot handle. It was like this in my Universe, and it's still like this in this Universe..."
Nick Fury was stunned: "What do you mean, your Universe?"
Captain America shook his head and didn't explain. Instead, he patted Nick Fury's shoulder one last time and said meaningfully: "By the way, you're right. I indeed wouldn't do it, but he will..."
After speaking, under Nick Fury's suspicious gaze, Captain America stepped aside, and a figure looking exactly like Captain America, but wearing a Red and black uniform, appeared behind him at some point.
"Hello, Fury. Goodbye, Fury. Off you go, Fury!"
