He firmly believed I stood by his side, so he never guarded against me—but I saw him as nothing but a fool to be used.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Le narrowed his eyes and said: “You should know that the Polaris carried a device linked to the Skrull Empire. To prevent Kana from making some foolish move and drawing Skrull fleets, I tampered with that communication device so he could not easily activate it to send signals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But to ensure I could use it someday, I removed and hid its critical components. Though the Polaris has crashed, the communication device still exists—so we can use it to send a signal to the Skrull Empire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean…” Arngael frowned, as if realizing something, and said: “Every Skrull ship carries a unique identification code. If we use the Polaris’s communication device to send a message to the Skrull Empire, they’ll assume the signal originated from the Polaris itself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. We can fake the Polaris’s pre-crash signal—in human terms, we send a black box message.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Le paced the room and said: “As we planned, we’ll disguise this as an accident caused by Skrull infighting over control of the ship. That way, both sides can step back and prevent this war from escalating into an interstellar conflict.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Barak said. “The Kree Empire doesn’t care about this spaceport itself—it’s only about face. As long as there’s a plausible excuse, they have no real desire to go to war with the Skrull Empire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Le nodded and said: “Precisely. For a cosmic empire, war must yield profit; otherwise, there’s no reason to start it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without the black box, their incentive to wage war is to regain face. But with the black box, both sides have a reason to negotiate—not to fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s begin,” Taros nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the Solar System, beyond the orbits of Pluto and Neptune, a strangely shaped spaceport floated silently in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was strange because what should have been a spherical, planet-like spaceport had been split in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One half was held together by various mechanical structures; the other half was encased in a magical shield, radiating mysterious light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the mechanical spaceport’s dock, several ships were moored; on the magical shield’s dock, several ships shimmered with magical energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside one cabin of the mechanical spaceport, Stark was calibrating the equipment controlling the docking berths when he asked: “Where’s Shi Le? Has he returned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter, who was studying blueprints beside him, didn’t look up and replied: “Not yet. He went to find those Skrulls, saying something about… getting them to cooperate with the plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows what he’s up to? This spaceport doesn’t seem to be his final goal—I feel he has something bigger planned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not his final goal?!” Peter widened his mouth and looked at Stark. “Isn’t that a bit excessive? We even recovered an entire spaceport!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though Dr. Shi Le says this spaceport is outdated, that’s only relative to the Kree Empire—the Kree are one of the three most advanced civilizations in the universe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter waved the blueprint and said: “The energy system here is designed for their wireless energy hubs. If we want to modify it, we’d have to switch to stellar energy or adapt it to an Arc Reactor—but efficiency would drop drastically.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter sighed and looked again at the blueprint: “Even modifying a single small component would require human basic industry to advance for centuries. Though we’ve pieced it together now, to truly build one ourselves…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter shook his head and didn’t continue, but Stark paid no mind and said: “As long as it works. Don’t you remember? The first generation of armor was assembled by me from junkyard scraps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to use this to teach Peter not to lose heart, to confront the gap with advanced civilizations, and strive to catch up—when Shi Le walked in and said: “You’ve worked hard, everyone. If you have time, come with me to the Large Magellanic Cloud.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the Large Magellanic Cloud?\" Stark turned, puzzled, and sized up Shi Le. \"You're not some twisted serial killer who likes returning to the crime scene to watch victims and investigators scramble in confusion, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Le froze for a moment, then looked up at the ceiling’s pattern and said: “…Of course not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark’s eyes widened. “You really want to do that?! No way! Peter! Peter! Go to the other room—stay far away from this guy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter thought they were joking. He shrugged and said: “Doctor, even if you want to go back and mock them, you should at least ensure your own safety.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We smashed their spaceport. They’re probably furious. If we go back now, we’ll likely be attacked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Le rolled his eyes. “Don’t you pay attention to cosmic news? Fine—I’ll call Loki. The Radiant Alliance, prepare for a meeting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while later, in the Sanctum Sanctorum’s office, Loki stepped out of a portal, looking weary from interstellar travel. He said: “Latest update: the Kree fleet has officially entered the Spider Nebula and is preparing a defensive line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s also movement among the Skrulls. I infiltrated their capital planet and found its citizens celebrating victory—they believe their military operation achieved remarkable results and dealt the Kree a humiliating blow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The news has spread already?” Stark asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Information flows faster in interstellar society than you imagine. Less than two hours after the First Spaceport exploded, most prosperous star regions learned of it. Many more foresighted civilizations are now preparing for war.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki took off his coat and hung it on a nearby rack, then sat on the sofa and drank some water. “About two hours ago, the Kree Empire’s capital lowered its flags in mourning and issued a statement: the Skrull Empire must provide an explanation. If no response is given within one day, they will retaliate with unrestricted force against the Skrull Empire’s surprise attack…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Skrull Empire’s official side is still investigating the incident’s cause. About an hour ago, they claimed it was an accidental mishap and expressed willingness to negotiate with Kree representatives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark raised one eyebrow in confusion. “Why does the Skrull Empire seem so weak? Aren’t they going to just fight directly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki shook his head. “Doesn’t this look like a trap? Haven’t human history’s complex wars shown you enough conspiracies yet, J?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Skrull Empire believes the Kree Empire had prepared in advance and fabricated this attack—using an outdated spaceport as bait to justify retaliation and provoke war, lying in wait to ambush the Skrull Empire and catch them off guard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I get it!” Peter raised his hand. “The Skrull Empire thinks the ship that rammed the Kree’s First Spaceport was arranged by the Kree themselves—just to frame them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki nodded. “Exactly. That’s why they don’t want to fight. Who knows? If they send a few fleets, they might face a million-starship army on the other side. Losing ships isn’t the worst—falling morale is far more terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two nations with a thousand years of enmity won’t give an inch on anything. If either side backs down, their people will erupt in outrage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark looked at Shi Le with gleeful satisfaction. “They won’t fight now. Your plan’s falling apart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s not all loss,” Stark leaned back on the sofa. “At least we got the spaceport and ships. The mutant issue is progressing too. You shouldn’t be too disappointed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead and laugh—you don’t have to hold back.” Shi Le sneered at Stark. Stark immediately broke into a radiant grin. “I wasn’t this happy the day we got the spaceport! Even the wise make mistakes! Hahahaha!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Le shook his head. “Tony, haven’t you noticed a problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark stopped laughing, took a deep breath, and said: “What problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the entire plan, there’s a position better suited for someone else—but that person never showed up at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark paused, but he hadn’t actually thought—he was still basking in his joy. So he asked casually: “What position? Who’s better suited? Who didn’t show up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he finished speaking, his brilliant mind supplied the answer. He froze, looked at Shi Le, and slowly uttered a name:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Magneto?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1497,"2026-06-20T16:39:22.658Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","976cb36f7ba3b35b8a3199a9028b739b0a83f760efb1097ed3c7a1622f5e87ca","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-921","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-919",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-cover.jpg"]
