I Am in Marvel with Unlimited Cards

I have finished translating this fanfic, IMUC (I Am In Marvel With Unlimited Cards) and have posted all the advanced chapters on Patreon. (https://www.patreon.com/c/marvel6395). You can read all the advanced chapters there.

A massive giant wrapped in iron chains as thick as a bowl and engulfed in blazing green flames rode a black-flamed steed from another world and wielded a battered axe. As it appeared, blocking the Quinjet's path in mid-air, an immense pressure radiated outward.

"What on earth is that thing?!" 

Thor gripped his hammer tightly, his body and mind tense as never before as he stared in bewilderment at the mysterious lifeform outside the windshield. He sensed a chilling aura from it, and goosebumps covered his skin.

The creature blocking the Quinjet was powerful enough to slay gods!

Thor, battle-hardened as he was, had no doubt about it. Even he wasn't sure he could defeat this creature.

"Hear me, Hellfire. Move aside. The Quinjet carries the master," Vis, controlling the Quinjet, issued a warning.

Upon hearing Vis, Hellfire did not immediately respond. Instead, the black-flamed horse beneath it reared up, letting out a joyful whinny. The resounding hoofbeats echoed through the base, seemingly to welcome Kyle's arrival.

Several young trainees on the island's training grounds looked up in surprise at the black-flamed horse floating in the air and its loud neighing.

"What's that black horse up to now?" 

"Don't even mention it. Last time, it kicked me, and I still have a hoofprint on my backside."

These kids clearly had a grudge against the black-flamed horse, speaking through gritted teeth and wishing they could cook it. Unfortunately, even combined, they weren't a match for it.

On the Dragon Turtle Island's open training grounds.

Among these young trainees was an elderly instructor with white hair. Upon seeing the Quinjet, the old instructor trembled with excitement and knelt down on the ground.

"Coach, what's wrong with you?"

The children were stunned. It was the first time they had seen the formidable instructor lose his composure.

"That's the master's transport! The master is back!"

Tears welled up in the old instructor's eyes. He was from the first batch of recruits, recruited by Lucy during the war. His loyalty to the Carl Family was unparalleled by any later recruits.

The first batch of recruits, now at least in their eighties, had mostly established their own organizations and families across the Earth. Only he and a few old recruits remained at the headquarters, serving as instructors for new recruits.

In their eyes, Kyle was the only true god in the world.

Now, with the first batch of recruits growing old and Kyle's lifespan seemingly infinite, they had not seen him return to the base in years. They didn't know how long they could protect the Carl Family in secret.

But as long as Kyle was around, the Carl Family was the most powerful force on Earth.

"The master is back?"

The training children, initially stunned, couldn't hide their excitement. They followed the old instructor's lead, kneeling on the ground and lying face down in the direction of the Quinjet, offering their highest respect and loyalty.

Inside the Quinjet.

Kyle patted Thor on the shoulder and winked, "Relax. It's just a guardian I created to watch over the place."

Hellfire pulled back on the chains it was holding. The black-flamed horse, understanding the cue, cleared the way by stomping its hooves and followed alongside the Quinjet.

"That's the guardian?" 

Thor's lips twitched slightly. He was certain that in Asgard, Hellfire could easily serve as a General, leading the Asgardian soldiers to quell the turmoil in the Nine Realms.

After this brief interlude with Hellfire, the Quinjet continued toward the base Fortress. The artificial intelligence system controlling the base, God, promptly coordinated with Vis. The top dome of the Fortress, made of Vibranium, began to rotate and open a passage leading inside.

The Quinjet descended vertically into the opening and entered the Fortress, reaching a spacious underground hangar. As the rear ramp opened and Kyle and the others exited, the walls of the room lit up, and numerous small flying drones emerged to scan and analyze the Quinjet and its occupants.

"Welcome back, Master Kyle."

The grand mechanical sounds echoed through the basement, and the Avengers members, including Thor and Tony, were all amazed by the inner workings of the Fortress.

With its external camouflage projections, aerial defense energy nets, and internal Vibranium construction combined with an AI security system, this place was truly one of the most secure military fortresses on Earth.

"You probably didn't know this. Although it looks like an island, in reality, it's the back of a turtle-like lifeform that can move across the sea at any time," Tony said excitedly. He was well aware of many of Dragon Turtle Island's secrets, which he had recently learned from his father, Howard.

"This island Fortress serves as a research lab, a training base for recruits, and a family meeting place, and it's actually a fully functional combat platform with more levels above," Raina, gently holding Kyle's arm, smiled at Tony and said, "You didn't know about this, did you?"

"Has it been remodeled or something?" Tony's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Kyle chuckled and, holding Princess Sakura, snapped his fingers, instructing, "Vis, open the portal to the upper levels."

"Understood."

The God system responded promptly, and soon, a strange portal began to rise from the side of the underground hangar as mechanical mechanisms activated.

This portal, created by Kyle long ago, used the Sorcerer's magic to provide an eternal connection to another location.

"Banner and Logan should stay on the Quinjet. The God system will send someone to take care of them. I'll take you all up to sightsee," Kyle said, leading Princess Sakura and Raina toward the portal, with the Avengers following.

After passing through the portal.

The group arrived in the main control hall of the Helicarrier. At this moment, the Helicarrier was hovering thousands of meters above the ground, with the blue sea below and the disguised iceberg of Dragon Turtle Island faintly visible directly beneath.

"Isn't this SHIELD's Helicarrier?" Steve was astonished. One of them was the very one he and Bucky had sunk in their battle. He hadn't expected there to be another one here.

Raina nodded, "Yes. It's been hovering in the sky for several years. Originally, it was Caesar's residence during his youth, but now it serves as the central military fortress of the Carl Family."

"Central? There's more above?" 

Natasha caught the key information. Although she was part of the Carl Family, she hadn't been to the headquarters in a long time and was unaware of any new developments.

"Is it the one?" Raina looked at Kyle, sensing his anticipation. "Has it finally been completed?"

"Yes. Under your command, the Carl Family secretly funded and built it over the years, and it was just finished a week ago. We just hadn't informed you yet," Raina said with a smile, glancing at the Avengers with confidence. "What you're about to see will definitely blow your minds!"
