At that moment, Kyle and his group were still in the vast expanse of space, thousands of light-years away from Earth.
Meanwhile, on Earth, in New York, at the SHIELD headquarters building.
In the nearly top-floor SHIELD conference room, sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the spacious and bright meeting hall. Around the round table, various individuals of different ages and genders were seated sporadically.
At the head of the table sat Fury, clad in a black trench coat and sporting an eyepatch. He rested his chin on his hands, his dark face stern and somewhat unapproachable. Standing beside him was the female agent, Hill.
The other seats mostly remained empty, with only a few individuals scattered around.
Captain America, Steve Rogers, clad in his signature blue-striped combat uniform, sat on the left side of the table. To his left was Falcon, Sam Wilson, carrying mechanical apparatus, and to his right was Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff, with her striking dark red short hair.
As for the row on the right side of the table…
Kyle’s humanoid Superman persona, a young child of about four or five years old named Caesar, sat reclined on his seat, treating it more like a small bed. His head barely peeked above the tabletop as he sucked on a lollipop to replenish his energy, murmuring in childish tones, “Do we have any soda?”
“Master, please pay attention. This is a crucial meeting concerning the peace of the Earth.” Eddie Brock, the bodyguard seated on the left, cleared his throat before he spoke. With his scruffy beard and rugged appearance, he wore a slightly ill-fitting black suit and sat upright with a serious yet somewhat comical demeanor.
On Caesar’s right side sat the disheveled-haired Dr. Banner, who hesitated as he glanced around at the others before weakly speaking up, “Given the current situation, I believe it’s best for me to continue resting to prevent the Hulk from causing even more trouble.”
The three individuals on the left side of the round table, Steve and his companions, bore the demeanor of seasoned agents, just like Director Fury. They were tense, their expressions reflecting a sense of imminent danger.
On the right side, however, Caesar and his companions appeared more like mere extras in this meeting.
Few knew that the true elite forces remaining on Earth were seated on the right side of the table.
“Hill, bring me a bottle of Coke,” Fury whispered to Hill behind him, who nodded resignedly and exited the meeting hall.
“Fury, I still can’t believe that Barton would suddenly betray us.” Natasha raised her beautiful eyes and fixed them on Fury.
“I can’t believe it either, but that’s the reality.” Fury shrugged and spoke in a low voice. “Just half an hour ago, that man with the golden horned armor, calling himself Loki and claiming to be from Asgard stole the Tesseract from the SHIELD Base.”
“Director Fury was present at the scene. When our agents prepared to counterattack, Agent Hawkeye suddenly drew his bow, shooting at SHIELD security personnel and assisting the criminal named Loki in escaping the underground base with the Tesseract.” Hill returned to the hall finished Fury’s words, and placed a bottle of chilled Coke in front of Caesar.
“Thanks.” Caesar, unfazed by the cold, picked up the chilled Coke, twisted off the cap, and as he heard the name Loki, a hint of recognition flashed in his gem-like blue eyes.
So, it was the brother of some god.
Fury nodded solemnly as he continued to speak. “Indeed. Whether Barton acted under personal circumstances or was controlled by someone else, we don’t know, but we need to issue a citywide manhunt for him.”
“Fine.” Natasha frowned with a mixture of reluctance and concern in her expression. As one of Barton’s close friends, she naturally found it hard to believe that he would betray them, especially to serve an alien.
“In other words, we have a so-called god in our New York City?” Steve’s tone was somewhat ironic; he hadn’t expected that after being frozen for seventy years, not only had the world changed, but also mythical figures like gods have appeared here.
“Well, calling him a God would be a bit of a stretch, he is just an alien from a species that lives longer and possesses some innately gifted abilities. A few years ago, another ‘God’ visited Earth and later went back holding a hammer.” Fury paused momentarily, seeming to recall something, and added cryptically, “Many years ago, I knew that humans were not alone, that there were many alien races and civilizations in the universe. And when Kyle returned to Earth, he also mentioned that one day, we would face those aliens, even engage in battles for resources with them.”
“Perhaps, that day is today,” Fury surveyed the people around the table as he spoke in a grave tone. “That’s the meaning behind the creation of the Avengers.”
The real first battle of the Avengers stirred the hearts of the heroes present on the scene.
But…
‘Thump, Thump, Thump…’
Strange and peculiar sounds made the faces of the people in the hall stiffen, and all eyes turned to Caesar. There he was, holding a bottle, tilting his head back, and chugging Coke.
Caesar’s tiny belly seemed like a bottomless pit. No matter how much he drank, there was no sign of his stomach bulging even slightly.
“Master, please mind the occasion.” Eddie tapped his own forehead, feeling exasperated as he looked at this scene.
Only after Caesar finished drinking and tossed the Coke bottle away, patting his belly, did his body suddenly hover from the chair. In a childish tone, he said, “Is that all? Alright, I’ll go find Loki now, give him a good beating, and bring back the Tesseract while I’m at it.”
“Eddie, let’s go,” Caesar beckoned to Eddie, who sighed lightly, got up from his seat, and extended his left hand to Caesar.
Caesar grabbed two of Eddie’s fingers and pulled the man, who was three or four times his size, from the top floor hall, straight through the open window. With their accelerated flight, they quickly disappeared from the view of the others.
The original SHIELD meeting hall, now with strong winds rushing in from the heights, left the remaining few in silence amidst the chaos.
“This really seems like Kyle’s style,” Steve chuckled.
“Captain, how can you laugh at a time like this?” Sam stared at him with a bitter tone in his voice. “Letting that violent god-child run wild might make things even worse.”
“Don’t worry, Master knows his limits, and besides, Eddie is by his side,” Natasha reassured.
“What if… Eddie and his Symbiote inside him also go out of control?” Sam posed a question that left everyone on the scene without an answer.
Dr. Banner raised his hand weakly and asked, “Should I step in if that happens?”
Fury: “…”
“Oh no, New York is in trouble now. This is a real monster showdown,” Sam’s neck shrank slightly as he felt a shiver down his spine.
Steve stood up, his hands on the table, and said, “Alright, we can’t just stand by and watch. Let’s leave immediately, our mission is to apprehend Loki and Agent Hawkeye!”
“Don’t forget about the Tesseract,” Fury added, then gave instructions to Hill behind him. “Just in case, you can activate that.”
“Yes,” Hill immediately understood Fury’s meaning and nodded solemnly, ready to carry out the order.
