Chapter 907

Since the Nick Fury disguised by the Skrulls and other superheroes officially stepped onto the stage, they discovered that things were not what they had expected.

Originally, the leader of the Skrulls who disguised himself as Nick Fury hoped to obtain the identity of the S. H. I. E. L. D. Director and superheroes, which itself was to use the resources and connections in the hands of these people. But just a few days after he became the S. H. I. E. L. D. Director, reality gave him a head-on blow.

According to Nick Fury's own memory, over the years, he had used various loopholes in S. H. I. E. L. D. to defraud a large amount of funds and built many secret bases. The locations of these secret bases were spread all over the United States, and only he himself and a few core agents knew the specific locations.

The things in the warehouse were even more useful. Besides the Helicarrier with strategic status, there were also a large number of heavy equipment that could be collected in human society. These were things that it was impossible to come into contact with as an ordinary person, and this was very important to the Skrulls.

The Skrull Empire, as one of the three major empires in the universe, can be said to have had a bumpy fate.

They were born in the Andromeda Galaxy and developed civilization to a very high stage within the Andromeda Galaxy. But unfortunately, their home planet was eaten by Galactus, so they were forced to move.

The interior of the empire was not peaceful, and civil wars were frequent. After a great chaos broke out, many Skrulls fled their country. And the branch that came to Earth followed ancient religious fables, believing that Earth was their place of revival, so they wanted to control Earth.

Their initial actions were quite effective. Many Skrulls were mixed among S. H. I. E. L. D. agents, came into contact with superheroes, and at the same time, in the process of contact, completed the preparations for copying appearance and abilities.

And after the superheroes died one after another, the Skrull leader realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Their copying ability is not without flaws. First, they must contact the target for a period of time. They don't have to be in close contact, but they cannot be too far from the target for a continuous period of time. Otherwise, the reading will fail. Once it fails, they have to start reading from the beginning again.

Another point is that the upper limit of the abilities they copy will be weakened. If they want to fight with the original owner, there is a high probability of failure, especially for abilities inclined toward magic and mind.

There is another point that is very important, that is, the same target can only be copied and imitated by the same Skrull. There is no way to have a dozen Skrulls imitate one kind of ability at the same time.

Moreover, there is a cooldown time for changing appearance and abilities. This cooldown time is about ten years. However, Skrulls are not a long-lived species. Their lifespan is about 220 years, only two to three times longer than humans.

That is to say, they must also carefully choose the object to copy. Otherwise, if they want to change the imitation object, they have to wait for ten years. This is very fatal.

This created a problem, that is, if they want to step onto the stage with the other party's identity, they must make the other party disappear. But because the ability has already been weakened, they simply cannot beat the other party.

There is also no way for a dozen people to copy the same powerful ability and then engage in a group fight. There is even less way to first copy powerful abilities and then imitate superheroes with useful social identities, because that requires a long cooldown time, and there will be even less manpower.

Moreover, group fights will cause a lot of commotion. They want to quietly infiltrate human society and control the upper echelons of the entire society, not to have a fight with all of humanity.

Having lived in human society for such a long time, all Skrulls understand how suspicious and xenophobic this race is.

They even divide countless domains among their own people and then squeeze each other out. If they really knew that there was a terrifying alien that could completely copy their appearance and abilities and was planning to invade Earth, then the Skrulls would have no peace.

The Skrull leader who disguised himself as Nick Fury originally wanted to start with ordinary people who were easier to handle, such as core agents like Coulson and Hill, seize an opportunity to completely kill them, and then slowly infiltrate, and finally deal with Nick Fury.

Actually, they didn't think about killing superheroes themselves. One reason is that the commotion is too big, and the second is that they cannot afford the loss.

Humans have so many superheroes, and there are mutants. The number of Skrulls who came to Earth was not large to begin with, and later there were some internal divisions. Now, the faction of the Skrull leader who disguised himself as Nick Fury has a total of less than 20 people.

If a head-on conflict really occurs with superheroes, whether it is Captain America or Spider-Man, even if it is possible to kill them, they can at least take away one or two Skrull members. This group of superheroes just doesn't kill people, not that they don't kill aliens. They cannot accept such a loss of manpower.

Harboring such a mood, constantly waiting for results, unexpectedly, a huge pie falling from the sky directly stunned them.

Nick Fury died, and the three most popular superheroes in New York also died.

Such a good opportunity, how can it be missed? The fake Nick Fury took office, and then was completely trapped in this vortex.

He wanted to use the various resources Nick had accumulated over the years to develop the Skrulls' own bases and weapons, but just two days after taking office, the bases across the United States began to explode one after another.

Hydra seemed to have suddenly remembered that S. H. I. E. L. D. was an enemy they couldn't escape. That group of NAZI elements seemed to have recalled the glorious days of the past, and this time, they wanted to do something even more glorious than in the past, which was to invade the American continent.

Within just two days, among more than 120 S. H. I. E. L. D. bases across the United States, more than 80 bases were attacked. Within just one day, the damage rate exceeded 40%, and the lost resources could only be calculated in astronomical figures and massive amounts.

The real Nick stored these resources for strategic reserves. When the solar system development and construction plan was in full swing, he was not in a hurry to use these materials and equipment he had accumulated.

He was not in a hurry, but the fake Nick was very anxious.

The fake Nick was anxious to put these materials and equipment into new production to provide support for the Skrulls' revival cause. He originally thought that the first thing after he took office was to count all the materials and then utilize them. As a result, the counting was done, but what was counted were all losses.

At the same time, this incident also made the fake Nick fall into deep self-doubt, because Nick Fury's memory told him that the locations of about half of the bases were known only to Nick himself, and a small half of the bases required Nick's own authorization to open.

This was not intelligence he heard, but memories he read directly, so it should be completely true and reliable.

Then, how were the bases that only Nick knew about and had never authorized to anyone else found and blown up by Hydra?

Any intelligent life, as long as it is trapped in the vortex of doubting its own memory, can almost never escape. Once they discover that there is a flaw in one place in their memory, they will suspect that there are flaws everywhere.

What's more, this Nick knew clearly that he was a fake, so he was even more guilty.

This is also a problem encountered by other fake superheroes. Their appearance disguise is seamless, and their ability disguise has almost no flaws. The only flaw is their psychology.

The fake knows he is a fake, which is the fake's biggest flaw.

If a person knows he is a fake, then he will inevitably feel guilty. His behavioral logic will be forcibly added with an order that must be executed, which is "trying to prove that he is real".

In the game of Werewolf, the werewolf's biggest weakness is knowing that he is a werewolf.

Human memory and thinking inevitably drive their behavior. Knowing that they are an identity that cannot be discovered, they must make many actions to cover up their identity.

And these actions are actually contrary to normal behavioral logic. In most cases, normal people don't need to prove who they are. And if it is not in a game state where everyone proves themselves, this abnormality will be even more obvious.

And the manifestation is that superheroes must go be superheroes. Otherwise, they will feel guilty, feeling that they have the possibility of being exposed.

Thus, in the next few days, several other fake superheroes encountered big trouble.

Spider-Man's biggest problem is that the Spider-Man originally played by Peter died within the public eye. Neither S. H. I. E. L. D. nor the government could announce to the public that someone could be resurrected, so the fake Spider-Man naturally became the second-generation Spider-Man.

Everyone knows that the "white moonlight" is invincible. If the white moonlight is unreachable, it will always be the brightest and most beautiful moon hanging in the sky. But if it is still alive, it becomes "white rice grains", appearing mediocre and ordinary, and also annoying.

Human nature is that what you can't get is always the best.

Spider-Man is not a perfect superhero. When he was still alive, there was no lack of questioning voices about him.

On the forum, some people liked to question his combat style, some criticized his words and deeds, and some maliciously wanted to investigate his family background.

But as soon as Spider-Man died, he immediately became the benchmark for superheroes.

In the descriptions of some people on the forum, he was a very great young man, smart, wise, kind, strong, could reach the nine heavens to catch the moon, could go into the five oceans to catch turtles, beat criminals, kicked evil forces, knew everything about knives, guns, sticks, axes, and hooks, except for being alive.

And on the contrary, this so-called second-generation Spider-Man who is currently existing makes people look at him with displeasure everywhere.

Some people say that he must create a uniform different from the first-generation Spider-Man. Otherwise, he is just riding on the popularity of the original Spider-Man and using the dead to make money.

Spider-Man's fans also expressed strong resistance. They absolutely do not accept that someone looks exactly the same as the hero in their hearts but is not as good as him. After a few days of criticism from newspapers and streaming media, the fake Spider-Man finally compromised.

He changed himself into a new battle suit, which was different from the previous Spider-Man, but also very handsome. The original blue became black, and the red became deeper, looking like he had a few more sharp qualities.

But soon, this uniform brought new questioning. Many people said that such a color was too evil and did not conform to Spider-Man's young and energetic image.

Thus, the fake Spider-Man had to adjust his image again. He changed the blue to a lighter blue, and the red remained unchanged, which looked more sunny.

But soon, others attacked his image as frivolous and exaggerated, like a toy for young children in a toy store, giving people a feeling that he was hard to rely on.

Besides the uniform image, his behavior was constantly attacked.

He imitated the original Spider-Man's lively and talkative style of doing things, and was soon called an ignorant, greasy, and disgusting imitator. But if he was silent and cold in front of the camera, people said he had lost Spider-Man's past approachable image.

Within just a few days, this fake Spider-Man was already close to collapse.

He was originally just a young officer with almost no social experience. Converting his age, he was about the same as the current Peter. Most of his time on Earth was also spent working in S. H. I. E. L. D., and he had never come into contact with ordinary society.

He never knew that humans were such a terrifying kind of creature.

He didn't understand that the essence of humans is double standards. When they hate a person, everything he does is wrong.
