Chapter 910

In the corridor of S. H. I. E. L. D., Schiller was holding a medical record book and walking toward the infirmary. Nick Fury, with a dark face, walked toward him. Schiller nodded at him, but Nick didn't respond at all.

Although his dark skin made it difficult to see the changes in his face, from the corners of his mouth that were fiercely turned downward and his bulging temples, it was not difficult to see that he had just lost his temper and was still very angry until now.

After Nick Fury passed Schiller, Schiller shook his head and walked toward his target room. The door was not completely closed. Obviously, Nick had also just walked out of here.

After walking in, there were two hospital beds here. On one of the hospital beds, Captain America, with a bandage tied to his arm, was taking a nap. But it could be seen from his slightly trembling eyelashes that he was not asleep and was feeling uneasy at this time.

Schiller turned his head and saw the cup that had been thrown on the ground. Water stains were on the soles of his shoes, and footprints spread all the way to the door. A fierce quarrel should have just happened in this room, but when Schiller came here, only Captain America's somewhat heavy breathing remained.

Schiller sat by the bed, put down the medical record book, looked at Captain America, and said: "What's wrong? Did you and the Director quarrel? Why?"

Captain America raised his arm to block his eyes, seemingly not wanting Schiller to see his eyes. He said: "Schiller... no, Dr. Manl, you have been a military doctor in the fleet of the Polar Star for so long, don't you understand our superior?"

Schiller lowered his head, sighed lightly, and then said: "Precisely because I understand him, I have to come over to persuade you, Barak. You have served in the fleet for so many years, you should know better than me that when he led the Polar Star fleet to escape from there, his only ideal was to revive the Skrull Empire..."

"But the Skrull Empire doesn't need revival!" Captain America looked at Schiller and said: "They are still in the depths of the universe, possessing vast territories and powerful fleets. And us, why on earth did we end up here? He knows better than anyone..."

Schiller took a deep breath and said: "Don't mention the events of that year anymore. Now, you and I are both his subordinates. The previous plan proceeded very smoothly, which made him have a deeper obsession with reviving the Skrull Empire on Earth."

"Recently, the plan has not been going smoothly, so he is inevitably a bit angry. Barak, at the very least, you have to consider that he holds the last main ship of the Polar Star fleet..."

"Yes, after that disaster happened, that monster ate our home planet and nearly 90% of the defense fleet. The remaining fleet was divided into several branches, rescuing the Skrulls who were still alive."

"From then on, we embarked on a long journey of wandering. Originally, we should have gathered all our strength to find a new home and develop a civilization that belongs to us again."

"But he, a fallen general who was excluded from the center of power due to political differences, claimed that we were destined to be homeless and would never have a homeland again, so he led the most powerful main fleet and left our people..."

A complex expression appeared on Captain America's handsome face: anger, guilt, sadness. When he spoke, his voice started to tremble. He said: "At that time, Talos came to Earth with us, but there was a reason why he would part ways with us."

"Our general took away the most powerful fleet of the Skrulls at that time, leaving the people we had sworn to protect wandering helplessly in the universe."

"Revive the Skrull Empire? No, the reason why he is so anxious to implement his plan is because humans have started to step into the universe, and they have started to listen to news from the universe."

"Ordinary people first heard of the Nine Realms and Asgard, and then heard rumors of the three major empires of the universe. What disappointed this general was that the Skrull Empire is still one of the three major empires of the universe, and it might even be the strongest empire."

"When Talos and I heard this news, we were overjoyed. Our homeland is still there, our people are still alive, they are living very well now, we still have a place to return to..."

"But do you know what kind of expression he showed?" Captain America showed an absurd expression and said: "He felt angry, jealous, unbelievable..."

"He felt that the group of villains who disagreed with him couldn't possibly rebuild the great Skrull Empire. Only he was right. In the past few years, he has always thought so."

"He felt that he had deceived Odin's eyes, fooled everyone in Asgard, secretly sneaked into the greenhouse of the universe, and was about to break through this weak civilization from the inside."

Captain America shook his head and said: "Every inch of land in the Nine Realms cannot escape Odin's patrol. The reason why he let us enter here is nothing more than because we are too weak, so weak that we are indistinguishable from humans."

"What else do we have? A crazy general, a group of wandering dogs who are stranded outside and cannot go home, a spaceship that is hidden and dare not show itself. The Skrull Empire is still great, but that has nothing to do with this loser."

Schiller sighed and said: "Do you remember our ideal when the Skrull Empire was established?"

"Later we knew that the ideals established by all races in the universe when they stepped into the universe were just to carry forward their own civilization. But the Skrulls are different. When we achieved such great achievements, we wanted to make the entire universe more vibrant."

"We kept traveling, finding civilizations in the universe that were worth helping, helping them eliminate difficulties in the development process, letting them constantly build their own star systems. We hoped to become the gardeners of the universe, the fathers of all civilizations in the stars..."

Captain America closed his eyes and shook his head, saying: "I have almost forgotten these."

"We all know how that disaster happened. We traveled in the universe for so long, and the civilizations with potential we found were few and far between. That day, the fleet found two civilizations, the Kree and the Cotati..."

"We wanted to choose the one with more potential to cultivate. We didn't choose the Kree, but they wanted to obtain everything by their own strength. Thus, they started to slaughter the Cotati and also hurt our ambassador."

"They stole a lot of technology, developed their own weapons and fleets, and waged war with us. Later, it was the Kree spies on the home planet in the Andromeda Galaxy who brought that monster that eats planets. Of course it was them. Besides them, no one would have this ability to infiltrate our empire..."

"Making the universe vibrant and making all races flourish might just be our fantasy." Captain America shook his head and said: "The interstellar society is not a picnic table, but a colosseum. Every civilization here evolves sharp teeth and claws just to destroy others. Between civilizations, there is no sentiment to speak of."

"Those ideals are actually just an impractical dream made by weak creatures when they stand on the surface. In the universe, only one truth remains unchanged, that is... the law of the jungle."

"Is that what you think? Barak?" Schiller looked into Captain America's eyes and said: "At that time, you were the commander of another escort ship and didn't work on the main ship, so you didn't know why General Gana parted ways with others."

Captain America frowned and looked at Schiller. Schiller poured him a glass of water and slowly started to tell.

"That disaster happened after the Skrull Empire had been wandering for hundreds of years. We are all people born in the wandering era."

"General Gana is the representative of the new generation. In the eyes of the new generation, it is incredible that the Skrull Empire continues to wander like this."

"We have an infinite energy hub, a fairly complete fleet, and technological strength that surpasses the vast majority of civilizations. So why don't we directly plunder those star sectors?"

"As long as we hold the muzzle to their heads, no one can refuse our request. The new generation all hoped to do so, but the commander at the time refused, and General Gana felt very dissatisfied."

"Only the old people were still adhering to the original ideal. The new generation wanted to be robbers more." Schiller shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't agree with the philosophy of the new generation at all. They only saw the immediate benefits."

"Directly firing and plundering resources is indeed the best way to get through difficult times. But if the new generation cannot learn to build a home from scratch, when they think that plundering and destruction are shortcuts to gain benefits, and think that conquest will surely bring greatness, then one day, they will have to pay the price."

"The wise men among the Skrulls saw this early on. He didn't want us to head toward an unavoidable fate of destruction, so he refused to change the policy."

"However, the new generation where General Gana was felt that this was completely a manifestation of being conservative and rigid. They should have obtained more."

"Thus, the split war broke out, but our general didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the war. He was just a newcomer."

"Very unfortunately, this war consumed our last remaining strength and made everyone feel incomparably exhausted and disappointed. Just in this situation, Gana used his inflammatory speeches and some violent threats to take away, or rather, steal a fleet."

"He claimed that he would lead a group of people to find the promised land and revive the great Skrull Empire there. This group of people followed him, thinking that he could really do what he promised."

Captain America showed a cold smile and said: "Promised land? Revival prophecy? That was just a trick he made up to fool people!"

"Talos saw through him long ago, so he chose to break with him and live a peaceful life, no longer participating in these crazy behaviors of his."

Captain America took a deep breath and said: "Perhaps, Talos was disappointed long ago. He no longer held any hope for reviving our country, no longer regarded himself as a Skrull. He perhaps hoped more to become a real human..."

"But you are different, right?" Schiller looked into Captain America's eyes and saw a soul that was different from Captain America Steve, but also somewhat similar. Different races, different experiences, but equally weathered, yet still bright.

"I was born on a spaceship, followed the fleet, and drifted. When I first set foot on Earth, I was shocked by the beauty of the legendary greenhouse of the universe."

"But I am always a Skrull, a Skrull soldier. Protecting my country, my race, and my civilization is my inescapable mission."

"Therefore, I will not be like Talos, giving up my identity, giving up my past, taking root in the greenhouse, and becoming a seedling here. This is not my soil."

"But I also don't agree with the things Gana is doing now. He is not reviving the Skrull Empire; he is leading everyone toward destruction."

Captain America shook his head, grabbed the hospital bed railing tightly with his hands, and said: "So many unexpected situations, haven't they made him understand that humans are not a race that can be predicted at all!"

"They can occupy such a beautiful planet for so many years, not because of luck, but because of their chaos and madness!"

"Those things that went smoothly were just self-righteous hallucinations. He said that if this little injury would make me retreat, then I deserve to die on the battlefield."

"However, what made me retreat was not this little injury at all. Even if I really die on the battlefield, I will never follow his orders and die in an invasion war that is neither glorious nor has any hope."
