"That's the Devil Card, which only the head of the Kyle family has the authority to bestow. With that card, you're essentially a member of the Carl family. You can use it in any elite marketpce or bck arms market around the world, spending up to billions of dolrs.
You can also receive unconditional aid from the various resources of the Carl family's sub-organizations and affiliates. When you return to the family base, you can even exchange it for rare resources like Kryon Energy Stone, Vibranium, or even long life— and other priceless items."
"In other words, possessing that card is truly a ticket to the top."
The female Card Bearer couldn't help but feel envious. Many of the world's elite craved to obtain a Carl family Devil Card, yet even getting the lowest level card was a challenge beyond what most could imagine.
After expining this, she bid farewell with a wave and leaped off the building, leaving behind a dumbfounded Wanda.
"That man…" Wanda furrowed her brows, gently rubbing the Devil Card in her hand.

Outside the boundary of the floating city of Sokovia.
The Carl family's Helicarrier, controlled entirely by an AI system known as the God system, hovered behind the SHIELD helicarrier, providing supplies and support.
At this moment, inside the command hall of the SHIELD helicarrier...
Fury, the director with the eye patch and dark skin, stood with his bck coat draped over his shoulders, gazing intently at the still-rising city of Sokovia.
"Kyle's forces arrived ahead of us again. As the elite of humanity, SHIELD's agents can't always g behind."
With a firm wave of his hand, Fury ordered, "Deploy the rescue ships immediately and start evacuating the city's residents."
"Yes, Director. Preparations are underway," Agent Hill responded before maniputing a virtual tablet while standing beside him. She paused, then quickly warned, "Not good— there's a rge number of enemy aircraft heading our way."
"Perfect timing. Isn't War Machine here as well? Let him—"
Before Fury could finish his sentence, the Ultron Soldiers approaching the SHIELD helicarrier were intercepted and obliterated by a dazzling streak of light.
In just a few seconds, over a dozen Ultron Soldiers exploded in midair, raining down like fiery debris— a scene resembling a grand fireworks dispy.
Agent Hill gnced at the fiery spectacle, then back at her tablet. "Uh... it seems like we won't need that. All the enemy aircraft have been destroyed."
Through the window, Fury could see the streak of light stopping in midair—it was Kyle. A radiant energy swirled around him, and his silver hair stood up like it was abze, making him shine like a brilliant star, divine and awe-inspiring.
"He stole the show again," Fury muttered, shrugging. His one eye focused on Kyle, and in a fleeting moment, Fury saw the shadow of an old acquaintance in him.
Snapping out of it, Fury shook his head and urged, "Quick, unch the rescue ships. We need to evacuate everyone in the city within ten minutes!"
"Understood!"

High above the skies...
In his double star form, Kyle hovered silently, looking down at the ongoing battle in Sokovia. Seeing the reinforcements from the Carl family and SHIELD, he nodded in approval.
They arrived just in time, giving them a chance to evacuate the citizens before the city fell.
But this wasn't the ideal outcome he had in mind.
Thinking for a moment, Kyle transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the center of Sokovia. Within moments, he nded on the Avengers' battlefield.
"Kyle!" "Godfather!" "Master!" "Boss!"
Steve, Tony, Logan, and Raina all called out to him, each using different titles. Their reactions made it clear who the true leader was.
"I'm busy. Keep fighting," Kyle acknowledged them briefly, then approached Vision and said simply, "Come with me."
Without hesitation, Vision tossed Thor's hammer back to Thor and followed Kyle toward the outskirts of the city. The Avengers exchanged gnces but were quickly distracted as more Ultron Soldiers rushed at them, forcing them back into the fight.
Kyle and Vision flew out of Sokovia, stopping at the massive engines that powered the city's ascent.
"You want me to stop this, don't you?" Vision understood Kyle's intentions immediately upon seeing the engines.
"Yes," Kyle confirmed. "Even if we manage to evacuate all the people, the empty shell of this city will still fall. Destroying it would cause colteral damage to the people below."
Vision closed his eyes, the Mind Stone on his forehead blinking with a soft glow. After a moment, he opened them again and said, "I can't. The engines pushing the city upward are made of titanium-alloy anti-thrust devices. Once they reach a certain altitude, they will automatically reverse and cause the city to plummet, wiping out life on Earth."
"This is a built-in function of the engine hardware. Even if I hack into the system, I can't override the commands…"
Before Vision could finish, Kyle shook his head confidently, interrupting, "No, you can do it."
"Why?" Vision was taken aback by Kyle's certainty.
Both his rational AI mind and his emotional consciousness from the Mind Stone told him the same thing: the city was doomed. The best solution would be to destroy it, even though it would harm the people below.
Kyle looked directly into Vision's eyes and said calmly, "If you truly evolved from Vis, then you can do this. If even it could do it, so can you. Otherwise, you'll have betrayed the belief it staked everything on."
Vision trembled slightly. This time, it wasn't just the Mind Stone. A small fme ignited deep within him, spreading warmth through his body like an electric current.
Why?
Why did he want to meet this man's expectations so badly? Why did he feel the urge to give it his all, to try, even at the risk of failure? If he couldn't do it, there would be a faint, painful ache deep in his heart...
Suddenly, Vision seemed to understand something. Without saying another word, he flew straight toward the city's engines.
"That's the spirit," Kyle murmured as he watched Vision's retreating figure. Theoretically, the city was beyond saving. Even a top engineer like Tony couldn't modify such a massive and complex system in a short amount of time.
But Vis was different.
Vis was a transforming lifeform, brought to life by the Allspark, capable of merging with and altering any technological hardware.
If Vision truly evolved from Vis, then he should have the ability to transform!
Kyle didn't believe in any theoretical limitations. He believed in his comrades, and in the Vis who had fought by his side.
