Chapter 919

In the infirmary of the S. H. I. E. L. D. base, several Skrulls were standing in the room discussing something. Barrak, who had originally disguised himself as Captain America, said with a solemn expression:

"Gana is probably in bad shape. Having stayed on Earth for so long, you should know the temper of the Sorcerer Supreme and Odin. We were originally tenants living here, but Gana wanted to take the house away. They won't allow him to do that."

And Talos, standing opposite him, said, "Back then, I was unwilling to lurk into human society with Gana and wait for an opportunity, just because I knew his plan would not succeed."

"If humanity were really so easily defeated, they wouldn't be able to hold this place. Odin rules the Nine Realms, but he cannot be everywhere. For millions of years, the infiltration of Earth has not been an isolated case; too many forces are eyeing this place."

"The reason they haven't spoken out is, on one hand, out of fear of Odin and the Sorcerer Supreme; on the other hand, many aliens like me who have lived stably in human society for many years have already accepted this kind of life."

"We are the generation born on spaceships. There are no high blue skies, land full of fragrance, and a stable sun shining on all things. What we see from the spaceship portholes is only the pitch-black universe and the tail traces of meteors that flash by."

"Since the Skrulls have never been able to possess a stable homeland, why can't I come to Earth to live? How many aliens yearn for this beautiful greenhouse but cannot integrate into this society."

Talos had always maintained Seeing Natasha's appearance and didn't seem to intend to change back. He said, "Being a human isn't bad either. Since we have this ability to shapeshift and disguise, this kind of life is what we deserve. Barrak, stop recalling those glorious years; the New Skrull Empire is not our home."

Barrak closed his eyes in some pain and said, "But it is still great, it is still strong. Perhaps, we can..."

Talos sighed and said, "Barrak, these meaningless fantasies have blinded your eyes. You should know better than me that the Star-Pole, which Gana controls, has communication devices that contact the Skrull Empire. Even if Gana hid the spaceship in a broken dimension, if the Empire really wants to find us, they can find us."

"The Skrull Empire has once again become the head of the three major empires. They have ways to use diplomatic rhetoric to make Asgard hand over Gana, the culprit who stole the spaceship back then, and Odin wouldn't care about us stowaways."

"But they didn't do that, which means they don't need us anymore. Perhaps in the era we left, the Star-Pole was still a rare flagship, but now, it has become dispensable garbage, and so are we."

The scientist Arungael, who was disguised as Stark, had already restored his original appearance. He said, "Talos, I know that you and Gana parted ways back then also because you felt incomparably disappointed in the military."

"Actually, we didn't want to follow Gana at all. Back then, my researcher student believed Gana's bewitching rhetoric and tricked me onto the Star-Pole spaceship. So, I could only wander with his fleet, and you, you should have also been held hostage."

"What disappointed you was that the commander-in-chief at the time clearly knew that there were innocent Skrulls like us who were held hostage on the Star-Pole spaceship, but he still issued an order to destroy the spaceship."

"Indeed, since the spaceship could no longer be recovered, the possibility of the enemy obtaining it had to be reduced. Gana saw this point, which is why he insisted on dragging a group of innocent hostages to make the main fleet hesitate."

"But as innocent hostages, we could not accept this result no matter what. Whether it was Gana or the commander-in-chief, they both abandoned us."

"I didn't choose to leave with you back then, not because I liked Gana, that shameful thief and kidnapper, but because I couldn't stand the life of an ordinary human. I preferred to dedicate my life to exploration and science, rather than being a human, hiding my name, getting married, having children, and finishing my life."

Talos nodded and said, "Indeed, I understand you, Arungael. You are our scientist most full of motivation and exploration spirit, but unfortunately, Gana's selfishness and stupidity ruined your scientific research career..."

Who knew, Arungael smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, my scientific research career was not ruined. Now I have found new fun."

"Just yesterday, I used Stark's identity to flip through his database and found many very interesting things. Talos, do you dare to believe it? His way of utilizing energy is something I have never seen before."

"At first, I thought he was that kind of hot-headed youth who only had passion and liked to bury his head and charge, just like my researcher students. But later, I discovered that he is indeed worthy of the title of humanity's most genius scientist. This race has given me too many surprises."

Talos glanced at the glasses on Arungael's face and said with a smile, "You have become more like a human, just like me."

Arungael didn't refute either; he just said, "Humanity is not weak. Living in their society and choosing to integrate into them is not shameful. And doing scientific research with them... I can only say I haven't tried it, but it should be quite interesting."

"So, we both want to stay. What about you? Barrak? What do you, Manl, and Talbert think?"

Before Barrak could speak, Talbert, who was disguised as Spider-Man, scratched his head and said, "I was just a guard in the communication room on the Star-Pole. I had only been on the job for two months when Gana hijacked this ship."

"I am very young, have no experience, and only know how to act according to instructions. Whatever General Gana told me to do, I did. But this time, the work he told me to do was too difficult. I said I couldn't do it, and he even wanted to scold me..."

He shook his head and said, "I'll still follow Captain Barrak. Wherever he goes, I go. I think I can go anywhere."

Barrak pondered for a while and said, "I want to wait for Dr. Manl to come back. You all know that he is the son of the deputy commander-in-chief. Although he had an unhappy relationship with his family because of his marriage, he is after all the one with the best background among us, received higher education, and has broader knowledge."

"But he..." Talos paused and then said, "Back then, Gana being able to successfully board the Star-Pole might not have been without his hand. He just wanted to take revenge on his father, so he followed Gana here. If Manl is still on Gana's side..."

Barrak shook his head and said, "No, he talked to me before. He asked me about our future."

Talos still wanted to persuade him, but at this moment, the Dr. Manl they were talking about walked in. He was still in Shiler's appearance.

Shiler turned around, closed the door, and said with a solemn expression:

"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Talos, who had turned into Seeing Natasha, walked up and patted Shiler on the shoulder, saying, "Don't do this. There are no humans here; just say it directly."

"The good news is that Gana is dead. The bad news is that he died at the First Starport of the Kree Empire."

Several people in the room widened their eyes. Shiler continued to explain, "Gana drove the Star-Pole and crashed into the First Starport of the Kree Empire. The Kree Empire thought the Skrull Empire had declared war on them. Now, the assembly call has been blown, and the Supreme Intelligence has issued a level-one combat readiness order."

Barrak stood up immediately and asked, "What's going on? How could Gana drive the Star-Pole and go crash into the Kree Empire's First Starport?? Is he crazy?!! The Kree Empire's First Starport is their face. If they hit the Kree Empire's face like this, the Kree Empire will naturally fight back!"

"No matter how he did it, now we have two choices." Shiler took a deep breath and said, "Either Gana is a shameless thief, and we are trapped on Earth, doing nothing and knowing nothing."

"Or, we held Gana hostage and wanted to return to the Skrull Empire. In the process of fighting him, the out-of-control spaceship could not continue to return, and we chose to crash directly into the First Starport to die for the country."

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room fell silent. Talos said, "This matter shouldn't be this simple, right? Do we really have a choice?"

"I choose the second one." Barrak slammed the table beside him hard and said, "I don't want to return to the New Skrull Empire, but I also don't want to be treated as a coward by them. I am not a lackey of that thief Gana. If everything is destined to be irredeemable, at least I can let the relatives of those compatriots who died under the Kree Empire have some comfort."

Arungael shrugged and said, "I guess there must be human hands in this, right? Not to mention anything else, the Tony Stark I am playing has the ability to control the Star-Pole spaceship."

He began to pace in the room and then said, "Humanity doing this must be to provoke the contradiction between the Kree Empire and the New Skrull Empire and then take the opportunity to develop themselves..."

Just as he was saying this, Barrak stood up somewhat anxiously and said, "But we cannot let the Skrull Empire face a new thousand-year war. That will cause many people to sacrifice!"

Arungael snorted coldly and said, "Back then, when they planned to abandon me, I no longer held any hope for them. But what you said also makes sense. Fighting another thousand-year war has no benefits; it's the same for any of us."

"But precisely because of this, we must acknowledge the second possibility. This is just a grudge within the Skrull Empire that has affected the Kree Empire. Only in this way can everyone save face, and there is no need to use war to solve this problem."

Talos also said, "That's right. The Kree Empire's First Starport is technically relatively backward. Even if it is scrapped, there is no great loss. The only thing that can't be passed is the face problem."

"If the Kree Empire reacts fiercely and launches retaliation directly, the Skrull Empire will not let it go. In this way, the two sides will definitely fight. This is what we don't want to see."

"What on earth are these humans doing???!" Talbert's facial features wrinkled together. He said, "Are they crazy? Provoking a war between two of the three major empires, aren't they afraid of being affected?"

"I'm afraid what they want is to be affected." Arungael said, "Don't forget whose territory this is. Even if they affect the whole universe, they wouldn't dare to come and affect Asgard."

"Back then, Odin was a famous war maniac in the universe. Perhaps he is old, perhaps he suddenly changed his temper. He has finally calmed down these two years. Whether it is the Kree Empire or the Skrull Empire, they won't easily come to find trouble with Asgard. If you are targeted by Odin, then there really will be no peace."

Speaking of this, the other Skrulls looked a bit bad. Clearly, they had all heard of Odin's prestige.

Talos added, "Not to mention, there is also a Sorcerer Supreme. That guy also relies on his fists to eat, and he feels uncomfortable all over if he doesn't fight for a day..."

"Just when we were fighting with the Skrull Empire fleet, we once saw him beat up a cosmic demon god. I have never heard a guy made of that kind of energy scream so miserably..."

"I understand! Humanity must want to provoke a war between these two major empires. The 'fish in the moat' that are affected are all their future competitors. These humans are not only crazy but also very despicable... Forget it, at the civilization level, it should be said that they are very smart. This move is indeed effective."

Barrak shook his head and said, "The Kree Empire's station is in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the New Skrull Empire... is either on the edge of the constellation or not far from the Milky Way."

"Before the two of them fight, the surrounding civilizations will definitely be cleared. In this way, perhaps the entire Milky Way civilization will die or be injured. This is too beneficial for humanity."

"I am more inclined to stop this war." Talos said, "Although all this has nothing to do with me anymore, if they really fight, none of the three major empires will be able to stay out of it, and Asgard might eventually be dragged in. I don't want such a thing to happen."

"But how on earth are we going to stop it?" Barrak frowned tightly and said, "Now, we are under the eaves, neither can we be discovered by humans, nor can we stop their conspiracy to provoke a war between the three major empires. This is really too difficult."

And at this time, Shiler cleared his throat and said, "I actually have an idea..."
