Is he completely dead?"
Li Chengfeng looked at the fragments of Starro, which had stopped even twitching, and asked Hela.
"He was completely killed by me. As the Death Goddess, I can guarantee that I even cut his twisted soul into pieces."
Hela landed from the sky, casually smoothing her hair with both hands, and the ice powder stuck in her hair from the battle instantly evaporated.
Although for Hela, this battle was not high-intensity, she was quite satisfied.
This so-called Starro had brought her a long-lost sense of exhilaration.
It could be said that after a thousand years, she had finally rediscovered the feeling of battle at this moment.
"Completely dead?"
Li Chengfeng scratched his hair, muttering in confusion.
It shouldn't be, right?
If he was completely dead, his mission should have been completed?
He had also dug out Captain America.
The so-called "other things," which was Starro, had also been taken care of by Hela.
But the system had no reaction at all.
Could it be that he still needed to melt the ice block encasing Captain America?
Li Chengfeng frowned and opened his communicator again.
"Li Chengfeng! Are you okay! What was with that giant starfish just now? Can that thing be eaten?"
Harley Quinn's excited voice immediately came from the communicator.
Li Chengfeng's eye twitched. Harley really could only be reliable for a short while.
"Harley, calm down, it was just a Universe beast."
"Huh? A Universe beast? I thought it was some kind of erotic monster or something! How boring… By the way, do you have something to tell me?"
"What is in your head… Never mind, have you finished the vital signs check on Captain America?"
Li Chengfeng gave up trying to reason with Harley Quinn's wildly jumping thoughts and asked directly instead.
"It was already done when you told us to take off. His metabolism is almost stagnant, but he's definitely still alive."
"Then you can start melting the ice now."
"Ah? Ada and Brother Cole have already cleared all the ice wrapped around the old popsicle."
Harley's answer made Li Chengfeng completely stunned.
Captain America was now completely rescued, and Starro was definitely dead beyond dead.
If the mission still wasn't completed, then there was truly only one last possibility…
This so-called "other things" was not Starro!
As soon as he thought of this, Li Chengfeng almost couldn't hold it in.
Damn system, why do you have to hide something in the mission brief!
Now what?
Where was he supposed to find this "other things"?
But staying here any longer was useless, so Li Chengfeng simply opened a portal and returned to the Airbus with Hela and Loki, the siblings.
As soon as he entered the Airbus, he saw a ridiculously absurd scene…
Coulson was taking selfies with Captain America, who was lying in the medical bay.
He even took out his Captain America card from his inner pocket to take a photo with Captain America.
Li Chengfeng looked at Harley Quinn, who was making coffee in the laboratory, and asked with a wry smile:
"How long has he been like this?"
"Huh? Let me think, he started when that giant starfish appeared. He was so engrossed he didn't even notice that giant starfish."
Damn it, regardless of gender or age, everyone goes crazy when they successfully meet their idol, right?
Even a middle-aged Agent like Coulson was no exception.
"Coulson! Stop acting crazy!"
Li Chengfeng really couldn't stand it anymore. He rushed forward and gave Coulson a friendly, face-slapping slap to bring him back to his senses.
"…Hiss! Li? Did you just slap me?"
"No one touched you? Are you perhaps so excited to see Captain America that you're going crazy? This is not what an Agent should do!"
"I'm sorry, I… I was just too excited."
It seemed Coulson was indeed a bit possessed just now. Li Chengfeng said he didn't hit him, and he actually believed it, rubbing his face while continuing, "Since we have successfully rescued Captain America, let's head back now."
Head back!?
Head back my ass!
You old man succeeded in meeting your idol, but my mission isn't finished yet!
Just as Li Chengfeng was still thinking of an excuse to stay in the North Pole for a while longer, Ada Wong's voice suddenly came through the Airbus's internal broadcast system.
"Everyone, gather in the operations room." Ada Wong's tone contained a hint of disbelief.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately went to the operations room.
Ada Wong didn't say a single unnecessary word and directly opened the electronic projection.
"This was discovered after the Airbus ascended to this altitude."
In the projection, there was actually a pyramid-shaped building made of what looked like ice crystals.
Li Chengfeng frowned, feeling that this thing… looked a bit familiar.
"We didn't discover this building when we arrived because it can only be observed from this altitude. From other altitudes, you would only see a vast ice field."
"And radars from various countries have never been able to detect this building."
"Perhaps this is some kind of… alien ruin, with shielding technology from a higher civilization around it, and this spot is just the only coincidental loophole."
Ada Wong analyzed, and when she mentioned "alien ruin," Li Chengfeng suddenly jolted all over.
Holy cow!
North Pole!
Pyramid-shaped building made of crystals!
Isn't this the Kansas Big Guy's Fortress of Solitude!?
If Li Chengfeng wasn't so reluctant, he would have slapped himself twice hard.
Of all things to forget!
He forgot that the North Pole was the Big Guy's territory!
Wait, the Fortress of Solitude seems to have an automatic sensing system. If anyone steps into or affects the Fortress of Solitude, it will send an alarm to the Big Guy!
Although the commotion of Hela eliminating Starro wasn't that big, but…
That bastard Universe starfish, Starro, caused a considerable tremor when it broke out of the ice!
This must have activated the Fortress of Solitude's automatic sensing system!
So, if there are no surprises, the Big Guy will receive a notification of "two terrifying life entities fighting near the Fortress of Solitude."
And most importantly…
Today was a holiday!
The Big Guy was probably at home!
He could come any time!
The Big Guy's fastest flight speed can reach superluminal speeds. He obviously wouldn't use this extreme speed within the atmosphere, but it was still much faster than an airplane.
Fortunately, no damage was done to his Fortress of Solitude, otherwise, he would really have to face a mature Big Guy.
Li Chengfeng declared, "I'm still a child!"
I can't see the Big Guy!
"Oh, right, I've already dispatched three drones to photograph and sample this building."
"What?! Three drones!?"
Li Chengfeng was stunned after hearing Ada Wong's words!
Ada Wong was also startled by Li Chengfeng's inexplicably loud voice, momentarily bewildered, and asked weakly, "Three, three drones aren't enough?"
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly, without explaining.
"Hmm, I think it's too few."
After speaking, he called up the real-time monitoring screen of the drones, only to see the drones getting closer and closer to the Fortress of Solitude.
Suddenly, a Shadow flashed across all three camera feeds simultaneously, and then the signal was lost.
Li Chengfeng slapped his forehead.
It's over!
While the others around were still wondering why the cameras had no signal, Hela suddenly looked towards the Airbus's hatch.
The hatch was pulled open by pure force, and a Big Guy in a blue tight suit came in, carrying three drones, then immediately closed the hatch tightly.
It was a perfect blend of brute force and politeness.
"Hi, guys, are these little toys buzzing around my house yours?"
