"Dad, when can I meet my younger siblings?"
"Those are your older siblings. If you get taught a lesson by calling them that in front of them, don't blame me for not saving you."
Hyuga Mirai warned Hyuga Yuzuki. If he hadn't watched Yuzuki come out of Kurenai with his own eyes, he would have thought she was Tsunade's child. She loved gambling, loved using her abilities, and didn't inherit any of Kurenai's slyness.
"No problem. Whoever is strongest will be the boss. I'll fight them first when we meet."
Hyuga Yuzuki snorted at Hyuga Mirai, then quietly grabbed a bank card and snuck out, thinking he hadn't noticed. This was definitely Tsunade's doing, because Hyuga Mirai had asked 18 to cut off all of Tsunade's funding sources.
If he didn't cut off Tsunade's money, she would barely stay by Hyuga Mirai's side for three months a year.
"18, transfer all the money out of that bank card just now. Leave them two hundred dollars for dinner."
Now Hyuga Yuzuki was also about to end up on 18's blacklist. Like Tsunade, her gambling skills were terrible. She had no gambling skills to speak of. Hyuga Yuzuki, at one or two years old, had been cried to the point of tears by Hyuga Mirai several times while gambling. After that, she never gambled with her father again.
"Sir, the Kree Empire received a distress signal from Knowhere three months ago. But when they went to investigate, it had already become a pile of rubble."
After speaking, 18 displayed the image data she had stolen from the Kree Empire. The Kree Empire's civilization was also very powerful, far surpassing Earth's civilization. Their understanding of artificial intelligence was several levels higher than Earth's.
18 had sent out a subroutine that quietly merged with a Kree AI, allowing her to slowly gather intelligence and technology. However, she couldn't be too blatant, or the Kree would notice.
"Is Knowhere connected to the Kree Empire?"
"No direct connection. To be precise, the Kree interstellar exploration fleet I dispatched captured a distress signal from Knowhere. It should have been a non-directional distress call, but the signal was picked up rather late."
Hyuga Mirai mused, "It seems Thanos probably obtained the Reality Stone. He might have gotten the Soul Stone around this time as well."
"Yes, sir. Based on calculations, Thanos will arrive on Earth within a year. I can take over global strategic missile launch buttons at any time. Soldiers without interstellar survival capabilities won't survive the first wave of attacks..."
Given the number of missiles in the Marvel world's various countries, launching them all could probably destroy half of America, and completely at that.
"...There's no need to launch them all at once. At least give my Ten-Tails a chance, 18. You contributed to the Ten-Tails armor too. Don't you want to see the big fireworks effect?"
Four years ago, Hyuga Mirai had launched twelve energy storage satellites. Their function was to transfer solar energy to the energy storage center near the Divine Tree planting site. After four years of accumulation, the energy there was now enough to supply the residential and industrial electricity needs of the entire United States for ten years.
Furthermore, inside Hyuga Mirai's Initial Ball Space, designed by Hyuga Mirai, calculated by 18, and assembled by her, it had taken four years to complete the Ten-Tails armor.
Combining biology and machinery, relying on vast amounts of energy, the Ten-Tails could continuously release twenty super Tailed Beast Balls in thirty seconds.
This kind of power was more than even the Initial Ball Space could withstand. Hyuga Mirai had to use other spaces to share the destructive force of the Tailed Beast Balls. In terms of destructive power, it was close to the Expansion Truth-Seeking Ball.
Moreover, the Ten-Tails armor could withstand Truth-Seeking Ball explosions and absorb all energy within several hundred meters for conversion and utilization. This was an invention by Hyuga Mirai based on vibranium and his own research into kinetic metal. Weapons below planet-busting level posed no threat to the Ten-Tails.
The door suddenly opened, and 18, transformed into Kaguya's appearance, walked in. Or perhaps this was also 18's appearance. Sitting down beside Hyuga Mirai, she continued, "Sir, with the currently accumulated energy, the Ten-Tails armor's operational time is less than thirty minutes. Want to touch?"
"My gaze was on your horns just now, 18. Don't say things that slander my character. I was just curious if they were signal receivers."
18 tilted her head expressionlessly and said, "No matter how much time passes, you're still so rude, sir. I was also talking about the horns. Want to touch?"
18 lowered her head slightly, extending her Otsutsuki antennae. This part wasn't really anything special; when he fought at full power, he also grew Otsutsuki-like antennae. The key was that when she tilted her head, her collar loosened considerably.
Weren't Sage robes anti-gravity? How could they be so smooth? He could see white...
With 18 wearing Kaguya's face, it did make Hyuga Mirai feel something different. Especially since this personality had merged with Kaguya Otsutsuki's consciousness. If Hyuga Mirai hadn't pre-set many restrictions, 18 would probably have become his greatest enemy.
Hyuga Mirai raised an eyebrow slightly, then slowly reached out. "The combination of information life and biological entity is indeed a proposition worth studying..."
"Ahem!"
A cough suddenly came from behind. Hearing this, Hyuga Mirai acted as if nothing had happened, very righteously pulled up 18's collar, then turned his head with a smile and asked, "Kurenai, when did you get back?"
Kurenai Yuhi was right there. "Just now. Because I can swap positions with my illusions at any time, so your perception probably didn't notice me. Especially when your attention was divided."
"Hehe, Kurenai, you've gotten a lot stronger."
18 stood up and said expressionlessly, "I'll go deploy surveillance satellites in the solar system." But before leaving the room, 18 softly clicked her tongue.
After 18 left, Kurenai Yuhi slightly widened her crimson eyes and quickly came to Hyuga Mirai, sitting on his lap. "Are you getting tired of the old and liking the new?"
"Don't slander me. Even if I liked something new, I wouldn't get tired of the old. And besides..."
"Suffocate you!"
Kurenai Yuhi snorted coldly, not intending to listen to any further explanation from Hyuga Mirai. She directly pressed his head into her soft, full chest. But not long after, her own cheeks flushed.
"Damn it, Yuzuki, it seems you've been marked too."
Tsunade looked at the two hundred dollars she had withdrawn, and her mood plummeted. Such a small amount of money couldn't even buy enough beer to drink happily.
"Is that all the money?"
Hyuga Yuzuki widened her azure blue pupils, very similar to Hyuga Mirai's. Seeing Aunt Tsunade nod helplessly, she also clenched her fists and complained, "Damn Dad, even guarding against me... Aunt Tsunade, want to gamble with two hundred dollars?"
"Forget it. Let's go back today. Flying all that way just to play one round..."
Tsunade felt it was pointless. She enjoyed the thrill of gambling, but there was no thrill with two hundred dollars. As for Hyuga Yuzuki's idea of turning two hundred dollars into a big win, neither of them seemed to have that kind of skill.
"Should we go find Peter? Aunt Tsunade, he's probably the easiest to talk to."
Hyuga Yuzuki suggested. Peter was the easiest to talk to and also a billionaire. If she pleaded nicely, she could probably borrow a lot of money.
But Tsunade shook her head and refused. "Forget it. An elder borrowing money from a junior..."
"So I'll go. Aunt Tsunade, wait for me here. I'll be right back!"
After saying this, Hyuga Yuzuki immediately entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode, then leaped into the air and flew toward Peter Parker's place.
The seal on her body had only been removed six months ago, but she was strictly forbidden from using a range of abilities. Otherwise, with her chakra reserves and Tenseigan, splitting Earth might be difficult, but splitting the American continent would be effortless.
Hyuga Yuzuki was a woman of action. Before Tsunade could dissuade her, her figure had vanished into the sky.
Peter Parker had moved. He currently lived in a coastal villa district in Brooklyn, basically buying the villa for Ben Parker and May Parker because the environment was very good.
However, Peter Parker was currently entertaining a group of uninvited guests. They had shown up unannounced and were saying very strange things.
"Mr. Fury, I don't want to hear anything you have to say. Mr. Mirai means no harm to Earth. That's something I've confirmed. You shouldn't just barge in like this. And coming here – this is where my aunt and uncle live."
Although Peter Parker was very dissatisfied with Nick Fury's behavior, due to his personality and upbringing, he didn't immediately resort to violence. Of course, the woman beside Nick Fury also contributed, as she made Peter's spider-sense feel very subtle.
"Mr. Parker, believe it or not, Stark Industries launched ten satellites in thirty years. Future Corporation launched twelve satellites in four years, including an energy field that no one is allowed to approach. This isn't just SHIELD's decision. It's also a secret mission signed by Council members."
Nick Fury produced an authorization order for a secret investigation, signed by members of the International Security Council.
In recent years, they had also felt the gradually expanding power of Future Biopharmaceutical Company. But hindered by the company's influence in Congress and its authoritative position in the medical field, without accurate, concrete evidence of danger, they couldn't take any action.
They hadn't anticipated that Future Biopharmaceutical Company would grow into a medical monopoly giant in just six or seven years.
"Mr. Fury, I don't want to see this. What you're showing me is useless. If there's nothing else, please leave. This is my aunt and uncle's place. You'd better not come here again."
Peter Parker warned finally. He usually lived elsewhere and rarely came here, precisely to avoid involving Uncle Ben and Aunt May. But Nick Fury's behavior was too annoying, showing up directly like this.
"Mr. Parker..."
Knock, knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Peter frowned slightly, sighed, and then got up to go to the villa's front door.
"Coming."
Peter opened the door and found the visitor was someone he knew well.
"Hey, what brings you here?"
Peter looked at Hyuga Yuzuki outside the door in surprise. Mr. Mirai's daughter. They occasionally talked, and although he knew she existed, they didn't interact much. However, Peter Parker always attended Hyuga Yuzuki's birthday parties every year.
"I wanted to borrow some money from you. Who's that guy?"
Before Hyuga Yuzuki could finish her sentence, she suddenly noticed Captain Marvel inside. This kind of energy entity was completely unlike an Earthling.
"A guest. How much do you need? I only have three million on me..."
Peter Parker didn't carry much money on him. He only had one bank card and a credit card now. He took out the bank card and handed it to Hyuga Yuzuki, hoping she would take it and leave quickly, at least to avoid conflict with SHIELD.
"Thank you, Peter. But that person is very dangerous. You'd better stay far away from her."
"In terms of danger, no one is more dangerous than your father, little girl."
Nick Fury walked over from the living room and said to Hyuga Yuzuki. Her partly Eastern features, along with those distinctive azure blue eyes, immediately made him guess she was Hyuga Mirai's daughter.
"Are you trying to provoke me into attacking?" Hyuga Yuzuki tilted her head and asked. "But your strength doesn't seem like it could withstand it..."
Carol Danvers whispered, "Fury, don't do this."
"But you succeeded. Whether you can withstand it depends on how tough your life is."
With that, Hyuga Yuzuki raised her hand toward Nick Fury. Instantly, a powerful gravitational force appeared, pulling him toward her. However, Captain Marvel reacted quickly. Just as Nick Fury was being pulled, she reached out and grabbed Fury's leg.
"Doing that will tear him in half..."
Hyuga Yuzuki smiled, then slightly increased the gravitational force. Captain Marvel, sensing the gravitational pull on Fury – whose body was already making creaking sounds – let go.
But the moment she let go, cosmic energy manifested on Captain Marvel's body, and she instantly charged at Hyuga Yuzuki. However, once Nick Fury was in her hands, Hyuga Yuzuki directly entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode and flew into the sky. Before leaving, she threw a parting remark to Peter Parker:
"I'll take this trouble away for you, Peter. Don't tell my dad."
After Captain Marvel also flew out, the SHIELD agents indeed drove away immediately. With their boss taken, there was no point in their staying.
But Peter Parker didn't listen to Hyuga Yuzuki. If Mr. Mirai's daughter got into any trouble after leaving him, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.
Contacting Hyuga Mirai through his terminal, Peter Parker immediately recounted what had just happened: "Sir, SHIELD brought a very powerful person this time. Your daughter said before she left that this person is no joke."
"...I understand, Peter. Don't worry about this matter anymore. If you're concerned about your aunt and uncle's safety, you can send them to the company's vicinity."
Hyuga Mirai replied from the other end and then ended the call.
