Desperate times call for desperate measures!
Especially when they learned from Gravik, who was being interrogated by Deadpool, that the number of Skrulls who had come to Earth had already reached a staggering million, they were no longer in the mood to care about how inhumane Snake Cap's methods were!
Because a million shapeshifting aliens were enough to make so-called human 'humanity' non-existent and completely overturn humanity's status as the dominant species on Earth!
At this moment, no matter how kind-hearted the people present were, their sympathy had vanished, replaced only by panic!
Ryan, who had already known most of the interrogation results, stared with unblinking eyes at the blood-splattered interrogation room, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth:
"Skrulls, I've received your declaration of war. As a return gift, before the main course I've prepared for you arrives, let me give you a little appetizer first..."
S.H.I.E.L.D., Triskelion.
Inside the Director's office.
Nick Fury and Talos were currently sitting opposite each other.
Nick Fury looked at the 'unfriendly' Talos across from him and sighed: "Talos, I know that the previous battle between Ryan and that powerful unknown supervillain accidentally injured the Skrulls in Harlem, but you can't blame the entire Spider Family for that. S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot grant your request to arrest the entire Spider Family either..."
Hearing this, Talos crossed his arms and sneered: "Nick Fury, I've led the Skrulls to work like dogs for you for so many years, doing so much dirty work for you. The large number of compatriots who died this time, they all died while working for you!"
"Even my wife, Soren, died in this senseless disaster. She was also a friend of your wife. Do you really feel nothing about their deaths? Do you have no feelings for them at all?!"
Nick Fury rubbed his brow with a headache: "I am equally angry about this, and I lost one of my major trump cards because of it. But the problem is, now is not the time for us to act on impulse. The strength of the Spider Family, the strength of Ryan Parker—it's beyond your imagination. Even if we were tied together, we couldn't deal with him in the slightest, unless..."
At this point, Nick Fury suddenly stopped again, clearly not wanting to say that 'unless'.
Bang! ——————
But even if he didn't want to say it, Talos didn't plan to let him off. Talos stood up and slammed his hands heavily on the desk, saying it for him: "Unless we call Carol back, right?"
"It's already come to this, and you're still unwilling to call her back?"
"How long do you want to wait? Until that Ryan Parker kills more innocent people and becomes even stronger, so strong that even Carol can't deal with him, and then you call her back to her death?"
"Wake up, Nick Fury! You and I both know that Ryan Parker is an extremely unstable factor. He absolutely cannot be allowed to remain. This unstable factor is only getting stronger now; we must destroy this source of danger before he has fully grown!"
"I promise you, as long as you call Carol back to take out Ryan Parker, the source, I won't go after the rest of the Spider Family. We can still have the same close cooperative relationship as before, okay?"
Listening to Talos, who was using both the carrot and the stick and clearly wouldn't stop until he reached his goal, Nick Fury's heart couldn't help but begin to waver. He lowered his head, calculating the gains and losses in his eyes...
Seeing this, Talos didn't continue to push, but instead sat back in his seat with his arms crossed, a subtle, almost imperceptible smile of success curling at the corner of his mouth.
Because his purpose in coming here was fundamentally not to force Nick Fury to call Captain Marvel back; he was here to pin Nick Fury down so that he wouldn't notice his secret actions.
However, if Nick Fury really could call Captain Marvel back, that would of course be for the best. Then there would be someone to deal with the Spider Family's most powerful 'Spider Monarch'.
If not, it didn't matter. Anyway, he had already mastered another even more powerful and lethal ultimate move. It was just that if he activated this move, it wouldn't just be Ryan Parker or the Spider Family who died, but countless humans who would be buried alongside the Spider Family!
And just as Nick Fury was still considering the gains and losses, and Talos was still calculating his own little schemes, something unexpected happened.
The air above the table between Nick Fury and Talos suddenly distorted eerily.
Soon, a wormhole emitting blue smoke opened on the table and spat out two lumps of 'mangled meat' onto the desk below.
Immediately after spitting out the mangled meat, the wormhole closed again.
Nick Fury and Talos were left staring in a daze, completely failing to understand what had just happened!
However, this blue wormhole looked a bit like the spatial wormhole of the Tesseract...
But hadn't the Tesseract fallen into that fellow Ryan Parker's hands during the Loki incident?
Just as the two were puzzled...
The two lumps of mangled meat on the table, which were so mangled they couldn't even be identified, actually spoke.
"Save... save me..."
"They... they are devils..."
Holy shit! What are these monstrosities? They can even fucking talk!
Nick Fury and Talos's first reaction was to be startled; both stepped back and warily drew their guns, aiming them at the two lumps of mangled meat on the table.
But immediately, Talos noticed something was wrong.
How did the voices of these two monstrosities sound a bit familiar?
Looking closer, that purple blood on the blood-soaked mangled meat was also very familiar!
In the next second, Talos seemed to realize something. The gun in his hand slid to the floor as he rushed desperately toward the two lumps of mangled meat that were still repeatedly muttering the same words!
Under Nick Fury's bewildered gaze, Talos used his trembling hands to wipe away the purple blood on the surface of the mangled meat, revealing the green skin beneath the blood!
When he wiped away the blood on the two faces and saw the true countenances beneath, he immediately collapsed to the ground in horror and despair. Tears instantly welled up in his eyes and slid down his cheeks...
Because of Talos's wiping, Nick Fury also saw those two faces clearly and sucked in a breath of cold air.
Because those were precisely Talos's daughter, Jia, and the second-generation successor Talos had previously taken him to see, Gravik!
Only now, the two of them were completely devoid of limbs, with only a torso and a head remaining!
Furthermore, three of the five senses on their heads were gone...
Eyes, nose, and ears had been cut off and gouged out, leaving only the mouth and tongue capable of making sound...
At this time, Talos, who had been slumped on the ground, climbed up. After the horror and despair came endless rage. He stared fixedly at Nick Fury with blood-red, predatory eyes and roared:
"Do you still think you can continue to let this demon run wild? Nick Fury, remember this: half of what they are suffering now is due to your inaction!!!!"
And Nick Fury, looking at those two Skrulls who had been tortured beyond recognition, also clenched his fists. The scales in his heart were finally tipped by this last straw, and he said in a heavy voice: "We... call her back!"
