Lin Feng fell silent, which only made Carol even angrier.
"Do you know what the Infinity Stones represent?"
"They are the most powerful forces in the universe!"
"Do you know how many people covet these things?"
"Do you know how much danger this news will bring to Blue Star!"
The Marvelous Mom bombarded him with a series of questions.
Lin Feng suddenly understood.
So that's it. Carol's hostility towards him stemmed from his collection of the Infinity Stones.
This action had brought immense potential danger to Blue Star.
Therefore, the Marvelous Mom harbored hostility and anger towards him.
It made sense. Carol was a being of justice.
This was evident from her continuous saving and aiding of weaker planets throughout the universe.
Having figured it out, Lin Feng leaned back on his lounge chair. Under Carol's murderous gaze, he settled in again.
"I thought it was a big deal, just that the news had leaked."
"Anyone foolish enough to dare come to Blue Star, I'll send them to meet the Goddess of Death!"
"Didn't Nick Fury tell you how powerful I am?" Lin Feng said nonchalantly.
Mentioning this made Carol even more furious. For a moment, she found Lin Feng both arrogant and ignorant.
"Nick Fury showed me your videos."
"But I doubt you know that the Chitauri army is as weak as ants in the universe!"
"Your strength is only relative to Blue Star."
"There are countless beings in the universe far more powerful than you!"
"I have only one purpose for coming here."
"Hand over all the Infinity Stones you possess to me. I will handle them properly."
Carol's idea was simple.
She believed that no matter how powerful Lin Feng was, he was merely a Blue Star-level existence.
Lin Feng had not experienced the vastness and cruelty of the universe. He couldn't handle the Infinity Stones. They had to be handed over to her for proper safekeeping to avert the impending danger.
However, her aggressive demeanor irked Lin Feng.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s information on Lin Feng was ultimately limited.
Lin Feng's strength had already surpassed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s imagination; he simply hadn't had the opportunity to display it.
As Lin Feng had said, anyone foolish enough to come to Blue Star would be utterly destroyed by him even without the Infinity Stones.
Carol's tone, as if she were an experienced elder who knew everything, made Lin Feng somewhat agitated.
It was like an ant boasting to an elephant.
In Lin Feng's eyes, wasn't Carol also the weak being she described as ignorant?
"You want the Infinity Stones?"
"Get lost!" Lin Feng snapped back unceremoniously, too lazy to explain further.
He detested people who lectured him with an "I know better than you" attitude.
Did he, Lin Feng, need her to dictate his actions?
"You ungrateful fool!" Lin Feng's attitude completely enraged Carol.
God only knew how terrified she had been upon learning that someone on Blue Star had collected five Infinity Stones.
Those cosmic powerhouses, both big and small, had already begun plotting against this blue planet.
And Lin Feng, the culprit who had exposed Blue Star, acted as if he couldn't care less.
This was practically disregarding the lives of billions on Blue Star!
It seemed she had to intervene and teach this selfish brat a lesson.
She had to make him realize that his meager strength was utterly insignificant in the universe.
"Lin Feng!" Carol roared, stamping her foot on the ground.
*Crack!*
The ground trembled under her stomp, and a large crack split open the lawn of the villa.
"I'm not negotiating with you! Last chance, hand over the Infinity Stones!"
This was a threat! A final ultimatum from the Marvelous Mom!
Lin Feng flipped over and finally stood up.
He looked at the damaged lawn beneath his feet, his eyes turning dangerous.
A massive aura instantly spread out.
"Are you insane!" Lin Feng bellowed.
"Do you know how expensive this lawn is?!"
"Are you asking for a beating?"
If he hadn't known Carol's fundamentally good nature, Lin Feng would have immediately laid into her with a barrage of punches.
Did she really think Lin Feng was someone to be trifled with?
"Hurry up and go back where you came from. Want the Infinity Stones?"
"Go take a nap, and you'll have them in your dreams!"
"This is my last word too: scram! And then tell Nick Fury to compensate me for all my losses!"
Lin Feng pointed at the ground, including S.H.I.E.L.D. in his demands.
This woman was arguably the first member of the Avengers.
Lin Feng naturally considered S.H.I.E.L.D. responsible for compensation.
While women held some privilege in Lin Feng's eyes, that didn't extend to unreasonable ones!
"It seems you truly don't know what's good for you!" Carol's arms began to glow, a dazzling display of multicolored light.
This was her photon energy cannon, one of Carol's offensive abilities.
From the videos Nick Fury had shown her, she had a rough understanding of Lin Feng's strength.
Since Lin Feng was being uncooperative, she would teach him a lesson.
As long as she controlled her power and didn't kill Lin Feng, it would be fine.
She wanted to show Lin Feng that there was always someone stronger.
A powerful photon energy blast struck Lin Feng's chest. Lin Feng didn't dodge, meeting it head-on.
The scorching energy beam caused not the slightest damage to Lin Feng.
Carol was taken aback, her expression growing serious.
"It seems you are stronger than I imagined."
Her power source had appeared after she had destroyed the light-speed engine.
So, technically, Carol's power originated from the energy core of the light-speed engine development: the Tesseract.
She had expected this blast to at least incapacitate Lin Feng.
But reality differed from her expectations; Lin Feng hadn't even taken a step back.
Carol suspected Lin Feng had used an Infinity Stone to block the attack, but she hadn't seen him produce one.
However, it didn't matter. Carol flew forward, her massive fist, glowing with energy, surging towards Lin Feng.
This punch carried more destructive power than the previous energy blast.
*Bang!*
A collision sound echoed. Lin Feng caught Carol's punch with one hand.
Sound waves erupted from the point of impact, causing further damage to the lawn.
Even a clay effigy would have some temper, let alone Lin Feng.
Carol's forceful and unprovoked attack had thoroughly angered Lin Feng.
"Since you want to fight, I'll let you fight your fill!" Lin Feng said, his face grim. He instantly opened a portal connecting to space, shoved Carol through it, and then flew in himself.
Lin Feng knew Carol could survive in space.
If this crazy woman wanted a fight, they would fight in space. His small villa couldn't withstand a single blow from either of them.
Nick Fury, arriving late, watched the two disappear into the portal with a face full of despair.
He hadn't made it in time. He could only hope these two wouldn't cause too much trouble...
