Hearing the police officers below calling for help because of her, Captain Marvel felt a sudden tightness in her chest for some reason and tried to defend herself:
"I didn't mean to hurt your colleagues just now, but you shouldn't hurt the Skrulls either; they are living beings too!"
At that moment, a police car sped over. After it came to a halt, the door opened, and a majestic figure in a white police uniform strode out.
This person was, naturally, our Chief Stacy, who was always on the front lines of the most dangerous situations in Ryan's World!
Chief Stacy looked up at Captain Marvel in mid-air with a cold gaze and questioned sternly, "I don't recall New York having a Superhero like you. Are you human, or a Skrull?"
Captain Marvel was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied, "I am human, of course!"
Upon hearing this, Chief Stacy's attitude did not soften just because she was human; instead, his gaze grew even colder:
"You're human? As a human superpowered individual, during this critical period of global resistance against an alien invasive species, you're actually helping the outsiders hurt our fellow humans?"
Captain Marvel's mind went blank at Chief Stacy's words. Her eyes began to dodge his gaze, and her voice lowered significantly: "But the Skrulls are lives too..."
Hearing this, Chief Stacy drew his pistol and aimed it at Captain Marvel in the sky. "Then let me ask you: if the lives of Skrulls are lives, are the lives of us humans not lives?"
"Are the innocent humans who were killed by Skrulls, had their identities stolen, and had everything they owned occupied by Skrulls, not lives?!"
"As a human, you are aiding a villain and acting as a protective umbrella for the Skrulls. Your actions are even more hateful than the Skrulls themselves!!!"
With that, Chief Stacy pulled the trigger without hesitation, firing a bullet of justice at an anti-human traitor!
Although a mere bullet from a pistol meant nothing to Captain Marvel physically, the psychological damage it caused was on the level of a nuclear bomb!
Because this shot represented the fact that humanity had completely placed her on the opposing side!
Captain Marvel panted heavily, her mental state already breaking. She looked down at Chief Stacy with a somewhat distorted expression:
"You... what right do you have to define what kind of person I am, and how dare you teach me what to do? What I do is ten thousand times greater than what you do. You are just weak, indigenous Earthlings who haven't even stepped out into the Universe. You don't understand anything at all!"
Seeing that his attack was ineffective and that the woman was instead enraged, Chief Stacy showed no fear. He didn't take a single step back; instead, he pulled the trigger at Captain Marvel again, emptying his magazine as he said firmly:
"I may indeed not know as much as you, and I certainly don't have powerful superpowers like yours, but I understand one thing: I am a human, and I will always think from a human perspective rather than helping an invasive species as a human!"
"You aren't brave. Humanity is brave. Long live humanity!!!"
As Chief Stacy's sonorous final words fell, the police officers stood firmly behind him, all aiming their service weapons at the 'god' in the sky.
They used their actions to tell Captain Marvel that having the power of a god didn't make her brave; it was humans who were brave!
"You are looking for death!!!"
This move completely broke Captain Marvel's composure. After a roar, she could no longer control her already meager rationality. She raised her hand and fired a photon beam thicker than a person at Chief Stacy and the numerous police officers below!
Buzz, buzz, buzz——————
However, the scene of Chief Stacy and the officers turning into ash under this cosmic-level photon beam did not occur as expected. A tall, silver-gray figure blocked the beam in front of everyone before it could reach them!
That photon beam, capable of destroying everything on the surface, was blocked by this figure using only one hand!
The newcomer was Ryan, who had been watching the show for a while and had already broadcasted Captain Marvel's ugly face and his father-in-law's bravery to all of humanity through Ultron!
Ryan turned back slightly to look at Chief Stacy and said in a calm tone, "Chief Stacy, the civilians are protected by you New York police officers; let me protect you."
Although Ryan only said two simple sentences, they made all the officers present feel excited, feeling an unparalleled sense of security from Ryan!
Today, not only has the Spider Family returned, but Earth's strongest Superhero, 'Spider Monarch', has also returned!
During this month without the Spider Family and Ryan, not only were the citizens of New York living in fear, but the New York police officers felt even more immense pressure!
Because with New York losing the protection of Superheroes, the heavy responsibility of dealing with those supervillains fell onto their shoulders!
In this one month, who knows how many colleagues were injured or even died? The casualties among police officers were more than in the entire past year!
If it weren't for George Stacy, as the Director, always fighting on the front lines alongside these ordinary officers and constantly encouraging them to believe that the Spider Family would one day return to fight with them, a large number of officers would likely have resigned under this massive pressure by now...
And today, they finally waited for the day the Spider Family returned. On the day New York—no, the entire World—needed heroes the most, the guardian family of New York was back!
Through Ultron's global live broadcast, Ryan's appearance not only boosted the confidence of the New York police but also moved countless citizens of New York to tears of joy!
Although they might not have all realized their mistakes over the past month, one thing was certain: they all knew the importance of the Spider Family, and they didn't want to live a life without Spider-Man ever again!
So, for whatever reason—whether they truly supported the return of the Spider-Men or just wanted to save their own lives—at this moment, everyone in New York was of one heart and mind!
"Spider-Man, kick this human traitor and the Skrulls off Earth! We will support you forever!!!"
At that moment, a chubby man wearing glasses and a short-sleeved shirt printed with the patterns of all the Spider Family members rushed out regardless of the danger and suddenly shouted!
His voice was so loud that not only did Ryan hear it, but all the officers present heard it, Captain Marvel heard it, and even the viewers of the global live broadcast heard it!
The air was silent for two seconds, and then from the surrounding streets, skyscrapers, and residential buildings, countless corners began to echo with the voices of people supporting the Spider Family and Ryan:
"Spider Family, long live Spider Monarch! Skrulls and human traitors, get off Earth!!!"
"Spider Family, long live Spider Monarch! Skrulls and human traitors, get off Earth!!!"
...
The voices turned into an infectious torrent, and in just a short moment, the same sound actually echoed throughout all of New York!
If Ryan knew the Spirit Bomb, he probably would have gathered a super-large Spirit Bomb sufficient to destroy a Planet by now to blast Captain Marvel into oblivion!
Though for a motherless thing like Captain Marvel, who hadn't returned once in decades after leaving Earth, she probably even forgot what her parents looked like!
However, even though Ryan didn't know the Spirit Bomb, he still had the power to beat Captain Marvel beyond recognition without it!
Ryan looked up at Captain Marvel, whose face was already flushed red like she was about to explode amidst the insults of the entire city, and said leisurely:
"Carol Danvers, do you see? In this battle between you and me, you are the one committing the evil you speak of, and I am the executor of justice!"
"Aaaaaah! Shut up! This is all because of you! I'm going to kill you!!!!"
With just a slight provocation from Ryan, Captain Marvel immediately exploded!
After a sharp roar of anger, Captain Marvel put on her suit's mohawk helmet, covering her face that everyone was shouting at, and her whole body erupted with dazzling photon energy as she dived towards Ryan!
Looking at Captain Marvel, whose body was glowing brilliantly, Ryan immediately recognized this as Captain Marvel's signature burst skill, Binary Mode!
In Binary Mode, all of Captain Marvel's abilities would be significantly enhanced, reaching stellar levels!
In this state, a single punch from her could level at least several nearby blocks; at full power, she was comparable to the Bifrost Bridge. Clearly, she no longer cared about human lives!
However, since his father-in-law was still here, Ryan couldn't let Captain Marvel's punch actually land!
"Father-in-law, I'll give you some face this time and won't fight in New York, but regarding Gwen and the others, I hope you'll give me some face in the future too~"
After leaving behind a message that only Chief Stacy could hear, Ryan vanished into an afterimage.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Captain Marvel as if teleporting and slammed a knee into her abdomen, bending the diving Captain Marvel into the shape of a boiled shrimp!
"Pfft——————"
Amidst Captain Marvel's look of disbelief, she spat out a straight line of glowing blood, her entire body flying upward due to the massive force of Ryan's knee strike!
But this time, before the force on her body could dissipate, Ryan followed her like a shadow, took a charging stance, and then... threw a punch!
Serious Punch!
With one punch, at the spot on Captain Marvel's abdomen where Ryan hit, cosmic energy and her suit instantly exploded!
Captain Marvel's mind went blank instantly under this punch, and she flew out like a shooting star with a glowing trail, accompanied by an air-piercing whistle loud enough to shatter eardrums!
On the way, she also smashed through many mountains, and continued flying an unknown distance without slowing down, crossing a vast blue ocean until she crashed into a towering volcano in an Inhabited Island and stopped!
And then... the largest volcano in that island erupted!
