The Supreme Intelligence—the Kree's living supercomputer. The god of the Kree. The true ruler of the Kree Empire. It possessed numerous formidable abilities, including mind control and high-speed calculations.
Yes, mind control.
In the original storyline, when Carol Danvers was captured, the Supreme Intelligence used the ship's technology to pull her into a mental realm. There, it mocked her, using memories of her past failures to break her will and force her into submission.
But what it didn't anticipate was that Carol, in a surge of fury, would miraculously awaken her full power. She shattered the power inhibitor restraining her and completely freed herself from its control. With overwhelming force, she crushed the Accuser fleet.
That day, the Supreme Intelligence perfectly demonstrated the phrase: You brought this upon yourself.
So, if Carol was being controlled by the Supreme Intelligence, did that mean this ship was the key to maintaining that control?
Without the ship, the Supreme Intelligence—being a digital entity—would have no vessel to channel its power, and Carol would immediately be freed.
Mike watched the fleeing ship, his eyes flickering with thought.
Two cards appeared in his hand.
Name: Clark Kent
Character Description: A Kryptonian, a superhero full of justice and compassion—Superman.
Note: Absolutely refuses to wear underwear on the outside!
Seeing Clark every day, how could Mike possibly forget him?
This card manifested a version of Clark from Man of Steel. While it wasn't Superman at his peak, it was still incredibly powerful.
Once materialized, the effect would last for one minute.
And in a minute, a lot could be done.
As Mike activated the first card, the second one in his hand dissolved into shimmering particles.
Name: Shadow Clone Technique
Skill Description: Creates a physical clone with independent consciousness and a certain degree of durability.
Note: Shadow clones—the ultimate time management tool.
After using the Shadow Clone Technique, Mike's power was split in half. But even so, it was more than enough.
As Mike's main body moved to intercept Carol, his clone shot into the sky, racing toward the fleeing ship.
Watching this unfold, Clark and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
This was beyond astonishing…
Their dad just became… two dads?!
BOOM!
Carol, charging at Talos, was blocked by Mike.
BANG!
A sharp crack rang out as golden photon energy scattered in all directions.
Carol's gaze was cold and emotionless. Without hesitation, she thrust both hands forward, releasing twin energy beams that blasted Mike backward.
Mike steadied himself—his house was right behind him.
He let out a quiet breath of relief.
Thank God I didn't crash into it.
The next second, Carol, now enveloped in photon energy, became a streak of golden light as she lunged toward Mike, her movements eerily mechanical.
Mike crouched low, ready to engage—
BOOM!
Clark suddenly slammed into Carol mid-flight, sending her hurtling through the air.
Mike blinked in surprise.
Then, without missing a beat, he shot into the sky, closing the distance. With a powerful punch—
BOOM!
Carol was launched even farther.
At the same time, Clark vanished from his original position, his legs tensing before he leaped high into the air.
The moment he caught up to Carol, he clenched his fists and delivered a crushing blow—
Driving her straight into the ground.
BOOM!
With an earth-shaking impact, Carol crashed like a golden meteor, leaving a deep crater in the ground.
Nick Fury swallowed hard.
He exchanged glances with Talos.
Both of them took a sharp, synchronized breath.
These Two Are Terrifying...
Carol climbed to her feet, shaking her head to clear her dizziness. She quickly raised her arms, barely managing to block Mike's descending punch.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion erupted as a shockwave, laced with golden energy, spread outward.
The ground beneath Carol's feet exploded with dirt and debris, and her body was driven into the earth like a nailed stake.
Whoosh!
Clark appeared behind Carol, seizing one of her arms and twisting it behind her back. At almost the same moment, Mike grabbed her other arm, locking it in place.
In an instant, the father and son had her completely restrained.
Carol's eyes flared with photon energy, the golden light coursing over her body like living flames. As her strength surged, she began to struggle violently—but it was futile.
As long as her power remained restricted, she couldn't break free from their grasp. But if she fully unleashed her strength, she would also free herself from the Supreme Intelligence's control…
Caught in this paradox, the Supreme Intelligence found itself in a helpless deadlock.
"Aahhh!"
Carol let out an enraged roar as an immense wave of energy burst from her body, splitting into twin torrents that surged toward Mike and Clark.
The energy storm struck them both, splitting into a V-shape behind them, evaporating acres of farmland in its wake. The ground bore deep scorch marks, and from afar, it looked as if massive wings of light had unfurled.
But the two remained motionless.
Aside from their upper garments being completely vaporized, they were entirely unharmed.
That was... beyond frustrating.
Fortunately, the situation didn't last long.
Mike's clone had already caught up to the escaping ship. With a single sweep of his heat vision, he sliced it cleanly in half.
The wreckage plummeted from the sky.
With the ship destroyed—its function as a 'signal relay' severed—the Supreme Intelligence instantly lost control over Carol.
In the blink of an eye, the energy surging around her disappeared.
Gasping for breath, Carol looked at the two of them and said, "I'm fine now. Let go."
Clark glanced at Mike, who studied Carol for a moment before giving a slight nod.
As soon as they released her, Carol exhaled sharply, cradling her sore arms like a battered, helpless woman who had just endured a vicious beating.
At that moment, Mike's clone appeared from the distance, carrying someone in one hand. As he neared, he casually tossed the figure to the ground before Carol.
THUD!
Just as the clone vanished, Mike said, "The ship exploded. They were all wiped out. I only managed to recover this one."
Carol stared at Yon-Rogg's lifeless body, her expression complex. She let out a quiet sigh.
Then—
Both Mike and Clark abruptly looked up.
Noticing their change in expression, Carol immediately followed their gaze.
A barrage of missiles, trailing streaks of blue light, was descending from the sky like a meteor shower.
So they still came?
Had the Supreme Intelligence called the Accuser fleet back again?
Mike frowned, quickly calculating the duration of his abilities.
More than enough.
In the next instant, he soared into the air, rushing straight toward the missiles.
Carol blew a loose strand of hair from her face as golden energy surged around her body, her eyes igniting like twin suns.
Crackle!
A faint, almost imperceptible snapping sound came from her neck.
Then, as if freed from the shackles of gravity, she slowly lifted off the ground.
She looked up at Mike, grinned—
And in a flash of light, she shot after him.
