The return of Superman was like a bomb hitting a calm lake, causing huge waves.
The turbulent world structure seemed to become more subtle with the appearance of that man.
Of course, Luke himself didn't have any intuitive feelings.
He said just one sentence at the press conference and then turned the scene over to Paige.
Those reporters just clicked the shutter and didn't even have time to ask serious questions.
In modern society, news spreads very quickly.
Within ten minutes, the White House and the Pentagon took turns calling.
Whether it's the president or the general.
Their words are polite and their attitude is sincere.
Most of the conversation was about inviting Superman to Washington, D.C., to meet, or attend a party.
This kind of political chat is usually not nutritious.
Luke exchanged some casual greetings and then handed over the schedule for the next few days to Natasha, the director of the SHIELD Secretariat, to arrange it.
"The Mayor of New York wants to invite you to give a speech in Brooklyn. What do you think, Mr. Director?"
This beautiful girl with burgundy hair looks much more mature than when she stayed in the Soviet Union and Leviathan.
The core of SHIELD's top management have basically been injected with the infinite formula strengthening medicine to delay cell aging and maintain youthful vitality.
Even though it has been a long time since Luke left this world, neither Peggy nor Natasha can see much change.
But the passage of time can always give women a more beautiful charm.
"No time, no interest."
Superman, who returned to the SHIELD headquarters building, shook his head in refusal.
Now he just wants to have a good rest and give himself a long vacation.
In the past, when my career was still in its infancy, I could not escape from the circles of politics and power, so I had to participate in it.
But today is different from the past. SHIELD is on the right track and has a good momentum of development.
The powerful image created by Superman has also become the common understanding of the group of people at the top of the pyramid of the human world.
Luke no longer needs to deal with any powerful people, nor does he need to fill his schedule with various high-end cocktail parties and interpersonal relationships.
He can completely move from the stage to behind the scenes and watch where the world that he has changed beyond recognition will go.
"From now on, you can just push forward invitations like this without asking me again."
Luke knocked on the table and said calmly.
After confirming that Natasha had no other work, he closed his eyes and amplified the senses of a single universe without any scruples.
The Black Widow sitting opposite felt a substantial and powerful wave sweep across her, like a radar sound wave.
Because she was so close, she could see with the naked eye that the air was distorted, as if it was constantly vibrating, rendering strange colors.
Seeing this scene, Natasha subconsciously held her breath and did not dare to make any move.
"Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you."
Luke offered words of comfort.
He is using his senses to gradually cover the planet beneath his feet.
No matter what those Skrulls choose to do, it is an indisputable fact that they secretly kidnapped and held Howard Stark and Nick Fury hostage with the intention of attacking SHIELD.
In order to scare the monkeys, Luke must show a stern attitude.
As for the consequences of offending the Skrull Empire
Feel sorry.
That was beyond his scope.
Superman's senses expanded rapidly, and his whole body seemed to rise to a very high place, opening up a God's perspective.
The earth is like a blue glass marble placed in the palm of your hand.
…
…
Westchester County, Mutant Academy.
The young Charles stood on the podium and taught history lessons to fifth-grade students in a friendly and gentle tone.
Unlike his friend Eric, he made a different choice and did not join S.H.I.E.L.D.
Instead, he stayed in this school, which was of great significance to mutants, and became a teacher.
Because long before they took the stage, Emma the White Queen and Superman were working together.
Introduced the Mutant Registration Act and dramatically reversed public perception of mutants.
The public opinion environment at this time is much better than before.
Even William Stryker, the "mutant butcher" in the original plot, sent his son to school.
As someone said, the story of the world was so messed up by him that it could no longer be seen as it was before.
So, Professor Charles and Magneto were good friends who were supposed to fall in love and kill each other.
Not only did they not part ways, but they became the youth leaders of their compatriots.
"The original mutants date back to..."
Charles put his hands on the table and paused suddenly in his eloquent words.
He raised his head, shock in his eyes.
Looking through the window toward Washington, DC.
As an Alpha mutant, Charles has the most powerful psychic abilities in the world.
If he is willing, he can even use the brainwave amplification device developed by Hank the Beast to enter the consciousness of humans around the world.
As Luke sat in the headquarters building on the Potomac River, letting go of his senses and searching for every Skrull on the planet.
Charles, who was in Westchester County in upstate New York, was naturally aware of it.
He habitually tried to capture the spiritual traces and find out who that person was.
But that extremely tyrannical spiritual fluctuation drove Charles away mercilessly.
The next second!
He screamed!
He covered his eyes with his hands, as if his retinas had been burned by the rays of the sun.
That is an existence far beyond my imagination!
More powerful than the legendary Omega-level mutants!
"get out of class is over!"
Charles said something hastily, turned around and rushed out the door to explain the situation to the principal's lady.
…
…
Skrull liaison officer disguised as Nick Fury, sending messages to compatriots who infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.
He had already learned from the leader's mouth how terrifying Superman was.
If the news seems exaggerated, it is all true.
Let alone an advance force, even if the empire devotes all its strength, it may not be able to cause any harm to him.
After all, that was a man who easily defeated a swordfighter, and the elders of the universe all respected him.
Superman's reputation in the galaxy.
Already surpassing Odin, the former co-leader of the nine realms, there is a clear tendency to catch up with the Mad Titan.
"Using stealth technology, the spacecraft docked in outer space is ready and can jump at any time."
After the contact was completed, the Skrull returned to his original appearance.
He doesn't like to look like a dark-skinned guy with a serious expression.
"What should we do with the humans under our control?"
the liaison officer asked.
Only he and the leader of the Skrull advance force were left in the dark room.
"Leave it in the 'warehouse'. They will wake up sooner or later anyway, and they will just have to figure it out by themselves."
The leader did not kill those people, or even torture them to extract confessions.
the reason is simple.
Not out of some cosmic humanitarianism or anything else.
The Skrulls don't need to do that at all, they usually find their target.
Then control it and copy it together with the appearance and memory.
"Could Superman already know about our existence?"
The liaison officer was a little nervous.
The law of survival in the vast galaxy has always been similar to the law of the jungle in nature.
Civilization is a coat. If you take off that covering, there will only be naked barbarism inside.
The Mad Titan and the Dark Order under his command have become a serious problem for the three empires.
And now Superman, who is equally powerful, is about to lead this blue planet to rise.
Once the other party knows that the Skrull Empire has an interest in the earth, will it lead to the outbreak of a war
"What can we do if we know?"
The leader seemed to have regained his composure.
The Skrulls' ability to shape-shift is not just superficial, but imitation at the genetic level.
Unless Superman can see the distribution and movement of every atom, go deep into the microscopic world, and gain insight into the changes therein.
Otherwise, how is it possible to tell who is human and who is Skrull
Therefore, from the leader's perspective, the best situation is for everyone to take a step back.
Forced by Superman's power, they voluntarily withdrew from the earth.
The other party can also pretend that nothing happened and turn a blind eye.
The leader of the Skrulls has a beautiful idea, but the reality is cruel.
boom!
The dark room seemed to have its roof lifted off by an invisible hand.
The light shines in!
This is an air defense base buried deep underground.
The Skrull leader borrowed Howard Stark's power and funds to build a stronghold privately.
But that invisible force is like the palm of God pressing down!
Thick soil, hard reinforced concrete, all shattered!
"Found you."
The extremely majestic and soul-shaking sound blasted directly into the consciousness of the Skrull leader.
His panicked expression suddenly solidified.
As if his soul had been drained, he fell to his knees tremblingly.
At the same time, the scattered Skrulls were struck by lightning.
They held their heads tightly and resisted the invisible fluctuations in their hearts.
But no one could hold on for more than a second before losing consciousness.
"Mr. Director..."
In the office of the headquarters building, Natasha called out cautiously.
Luke leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, as if resting.
She had sat motionless and stiff for five minutes.
It was really unbearable, so I spoke out.
"Okay, let the security throw the Skrulls downstairs into prison, and wait for Peggy to come back and interrogate them."
Luke opened his eyes and snapped his fingers gently.
Outside the headquarters building, magic sparks flickered, opening many transmission channels.
Losing resistance, the unconscious Skrull dropped onto the green lawn like dumplings.
"Skrull?"
Natasha was surprised, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked around.
"Mr. Director, how did you find them..."
The female secretary who graduated from Leviathan and was awarded the title of "Black Widow" covered her mouth.
She had just learned from Peggy that the Skrulls were quite cunning and difficult to distinguish.
But Luke was just sitting in the office, and these guys came to his door. This was too incredible.
"When you can hold a planet in the palm of your hand and play with it at will, it will be easy to do anything and find anyone."
Luke smiled lightly and leaned back slightly.
After solving the secret invasion of Skrulls, the next step is vacation life. (End of chapter)
