"Are you Talos?"
Luke used his heat vision to weld the last part and stopped what he was doing.
The Skrull who hoped to meet him had been standing aside waiting for a long time.
"Yes, Mr. Superman."
The leader of the Skrulls named Talos nodded and replied.
"In your opinion, this may be a very presumptuous visit, but I do have a good reason to see you."
Very polite.
This is Luke's first impression of Talos.
certainly.
Ever since he unilaterally crushed the Shi'ar Imperial Guard Captain in a sword fight, no one should have dared to show his arrogant side.
In the vast galaxy, countless seniors have long proven a truth with their lives. It is reasonable to remain humble in the face of the strong.
Even the Collector, who is the Elder of the Universe, is no exception to this ironclad rule.
"Tell me."
Luke smiled, he could probably guess the reason why the other party came to him.
"I have heard that Mr. Superman is from Earth?"
Talos did not answer directly, but asked another question.
This is not a secret. The intelligence brokers in the Void Land are all-pervasive, and Luke himself does not deliberately hide it.
Superman's name, strength, and hometown...these news flew all over the galaxy like wings.
"Yes."
Luke affirmed.
"Then I didn't find the wrong person!"
After receiving the confirmation, Talos looked excited.
It was as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart, and his tone became much lighter.
It seemed that he was worried when he spoke before.
"Sir Superman, you may not know that the earth is about to face a crisis!"
Talos said directly without showing off.
No one knows how patient Luke is. If he has an impatient personality, delaying deliberately may annoy the other party.
"To tell you the truth, there is a huge list of infiltrations and occupations within the Skrull Empire, which lists many... undeveloped civilized planets that have not yet entered the space age."
Glancing at Luke calmly, Talos considered his words and said carefully: "According to priority, the empire's advance team will gradually penetrate the core class, control power, provoke internal conflicts everywhere, and create large-scale wars... thereby consuming the target planet. strength so that we can capture it.”
"The earth is also your target?"
Luke was not surprised. The secret invasion of the Skrulls had already happened in the original timeline.
That major event had a far-reaching impact. The Avengers were suspected by the government and Iron Man was forced to step down.
Green Goblin Norman Osborn replaced the opponent and reorganized S.H.I.E.L.D. into the "Hammer Bureau" to monopolize power.
"Not us, Mr. Superman."
Talos quickly corrected, he didn't want Luke to confuse himself with the invading Skrulls.
"I am different from those Skrulls. They are invaders and conspirators, and we are just victims, a group of homeless refugees."
In a sense, Talos can be regarded as a "Skrull rape".
He is not loyal to the Empire and has little affection for the Skrull Queen in power.
Because the home planet where he and his tribe were located had been turned into scorched earth by that lunatic named Ronan.
The endless imperial war destroyed Talos' homeland and took away everything from his people.
After this, the Queen of Skrull, whom everyone admired, showed no pity or sympathy to them.
Therefore, Talos did not accept the resettlement treatment of the Skrulls.
Instead, he led his tribe to wander around, living a precarious life.
He hates the Kree Empire, but no longer trusts the Skrull Queen.
"You are willing to risk treason to tell me this news, Talos, what is your purpose in doing this?"
Luke smiled kindly and looked at the Skrull who came to inform him.
"The Kree Empire has invested a huge amount of resources and launched the light speed engine research project. The leader is Dr. Mar-Vell. She is completely unlike other Kree people and has an incomparable enthusiasm for war."
Talos told everything, hoping to impress Superman in front of him.
"Dr. Mar-Vell sheltered us and promised to help my people find a new home after the research on the light speed engine is completed."
"However, the Kree Empire noticed something was wrong and sent an interstellar team to inspect the results in advance."
"The leader was called Yon-Rogg. He shot and killed Dr. Mar-Vell, but he didn't get the light speed engine. He only took away a woman, an Earth woman."
Luke frowned. Captain Marvel Carol Danvers had already appeared
It seems that the timeline hasn't jumped too far back yet.
"Now, the Star Troopers are hunting us, and the Kree Empire also wants to get the energy core triggered by the speed of light. At the same time, the Skrulls' advance troops have also penetrated into the earth, looking for clues to the light speed engine..."
Talos presented the complicated situation to Luke through words.
"I am providing this information because I want your protection."
Luke blinked and replied: "If what you said is true, I can accept the Skrulls and live temporarily on behalf of the Earth government."
Sure enough, it was just as he guessed.
Superman comes from Earth, with the added bonus of great strength.
For Talos, it is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
Taking in Talos and the Skrull refugees was a piece of cake for Luke.
Anyway, the Kree Empire definitely doesn't have the guts to ask for someone from itself.
"Uh... thank you, Mr. Superman."
Talos thought that the other party would think carefully for a while before giving an answer.
That was the Kree Empire, the largest military regime in the galaxy.
"Whether it's a Skrull or a Kree, I treat them all equally."
Luke smiled, and the implication was, "It's not directed at anyone, everyone here is rubbish."
Thinking of Superman's amazing achievements, Talos was speechless.
There didn't seem to be any sense of violation when the other party said such arrogant lies.
…
…
"Firth, I stress again, no matter what happens, you must remain calm and obey orders."
Yong-Rogg led a team and took a spaceship into the star port of the Void Land.
After walking out of the dock, he stared at Firth, who was looking around with curiosity written all over his face, and reminded him solemnly.
The woman from Earth who was brought back to Planet Hala by him was a destabilizing factor.
Yon-Rogg's job is to oversee her, use her, and forge her into the Kree Empire's most effective weapon.
But once it is not used properly, it will hurt others first.
"Understood, I will follow the team closely and obey all instructions from the superior officer."
Firth said this, but did not take Yon-Rogg's words to heart.
It was hard to leave Planet Hala and come to a new place.
She was looking forward to it. It would be best if a few decent opponents would appear and some interesting stories would happen.
This is considered a qualified adventure.
"Welcome to the land of nothingness."
Before the Kree Empire's Star Troopers could show off their skills and collect the whereabouts of the Skrull refugees, a heavily armed patrol surrounded them.
The person taking the lead is collector Tanya Difan's pink-skinned maid.
She received an order from her master to invite these "guests" to the core area.
"What does it mean?"
Yong-Rogg's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice.
This is not an infiltration or assassination mission, and the Void Land is not a dangerous forbidden area.
Therefore, the Star Troopers did not put on any more disguises and went out directly under the name of the Kree Empire.
After all, he is one of the three major powers in the galaxy. When he goes to other places, he will show some respect.
"Can I take this as a provocation to the Kree Empire?"
Yon-Rogg revealed his identity and said fiercely: "You tried to arrest the soldiers of the empire without going through the trial of the accusers and without the ruling of the empire. This is the greatest insult to the Kree people and a contempt for the supreme wisdom! "
The pink-skinned maid, with a sweet business smile on her face, replied: "You misunderstood, the master just wants to invite you to come and meet."
Meet
Yong-Rogg narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at Firth.
"I haven't had time to do anything yet."
The latter said innocently.
After thinking for a while, Yong-Rogg felt that he might be too nervous.
It is impossible for the Difan Group to dare to provoke the Kree Empire. Even if the collector is the elder of the universe, he must succumb to the will of the supreme wisdom.
Otherwise, the land of emptiness and ignorance will cease to exist and turn into scorched earth.
Thinking of this, Yong-Rogg regained his confidence.
He held his head high, with a haughty look in his eyes, and waved to Tanya Difan's maid to lead the way.
…
…
Three hours later.
Yong-Rogg and the other men were put into a cell.
The leader of the interstellar team seemed to have been beaten severely. There was a circle of bruises around his eyes, and his whole person was extremely depressed.
"I'm so stupid. I didn't expect Superman to still be in the Void, and he's still an Earthling."
Yon-Rogg murmured.
He followed the Collector's maid into the core area and was taken to a private area.
It was not Tanya Difan who greeted the Star Troopers.
Superman seemed to have been prepared for it. As soon as they met, he told all the twists and turns that happened to Firth.
Moreover, the mental control exerted by the Supreme Intelligence is easily erased.
Firth who recovered his memory... Oh no, it should be Carol, severely beating Yong-Rogg who deceived him. (End of chapter)
