Among the few remaining relatively intact S.H.I.E.L.D. bases in New Mexico, Schiller was holding a file labeled "Materials" and said to Natasha, "You should already understand the principles of S.H.I.E.L.D. reimbursement, right?"

Natasha, also holding a report, flipped through it and replied, "Don't worry, Barton is new to this, and his data is a bit conservative. I'll make some adjustments later. You can check if there are any issues."

"This Hydra attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. warehouses across America has cost us dearly. S.H.I.E.L.D. has sacrificed a lot to combat Hydra. While we are willing to continue selflessly, we also have to fight for our rightful interests from Congress for sustainable development."

Natasha nodded. At that moment, her mobile phone rang. She answered it and said, "What? Captain is requesting access to the base? What does he need it for? He can't help with assessing the material losses."

"Agent Carter, you should know that S.H.I.E.L.D. does not allow office romances, even if you admire Captain America. You can't request access to the base on his behalf. It's against the rules. If the Director finds out, he will scold you again."

"Fine, for Peggy Carter's sake, this one time only. I've granted him access. What does he want?"

Natasha hung up the phone and turned to Schiller with a puzzled look. "Steve suddenly requested access to this base. It seems like he's looking for someone. Do you know what's going on, Doctor?"

Schiller hesitated for a moment and then said, "Oh, that thing. Did you forget?"

Natasha also paused for a moment and then had a sudden realization.

After a while, Captain America appeared in front of Schiller. He looked anxious and said, "Doctor, I need to talk to you. What I'm about to say may be shocking, but please listen carefully; it's crucial."

Captain America took a deep breath, gazed at Schiller, and tightened his grip on his shield. But soon, he relaxed his arm muscles, put down the shield, and said, "I'm not Captain America. Let me reintroduce myself. I am Barack, a Skrull."

With those words, Captain America's face gradually transformed. His skin turned green, patterns appeared on his jawline and chin muscles, his ears elongated, taking on the appearance of a Skrull.

To his surprise, Schiller did not show any astonishment. He simply smiled and said, "Welcome back, Barack Captain."

As these words landed, Schiller's face also began to change, with green spreading across his skin, and patterns gradually extending.

Barack exclaimed in disbelief, "Talos?!!!"

Then, he stood still for a moment and continued, "Wait, if you're Manel, then the person who went to find Gana is..."

In the laboratory of Stark Tower, Schiller entered and saw Nick. He turned to the impostor Iron Man and said, "I don't want to resort to these methods, but if you insist on not completing the mission, I believe I need to use another approach to ensure your diligence."

The impostor Iron Man took two steps back and said, "Gana, do you want to use those ridiculous weapons of yours against me? Don't forget, I am Iron Man now... in a combat suit!!!"

With a loud shout, the Iron Man combat suit immediately flew in, armed onto him. He soared into the air, looking down at Gana. The glow on his arm indicated that he was charging his cannon.

Nick smirked and looked at Schiller, saying, "I am the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearly, Tony Stark has fallen under the influence of some dark forces. Dr. Schiller, could you please check on him and ensure he's back to his senses?"

Schiller nodded, reached into his pocket, and as he narrowed his eyes, the impostor Iron Man froze in mid-air.

After about half a minute, he slowly descended and stood still. Schiller turned to Nick and said, "Director, Iron Man still feels a strong sense of responsibility and is willing to give everything for our cause."
"Excellent work," Nick praised, approaching the impostor Iron Man. He turned to Schiller and continued, "You are the outstanding talent necessary for a great enterprise. As for them... if they weren't somewhat useful, I would have thrown this bunch of useless individuals into the Sun!"

Nick then looked at the imitation Iron Man's Mech armor with a hint of mockery. Turning his head to Schiller, he said, "Have him open the Mech armor."

Schiller nodded, and a few seconds later, the fake Iron Man emerged from the combat suit, still standing in place, dazed. Nick wore a wicked smile as he handed a portable military knife to the imitation Iron Man and said to Schiller, "You know how he just defied my orders? He actually claimed he couldn't do this job and refused to continue working on my crazy ideas."

Nick's face showed a touch of ruthlessness as he continued, "I understand that you all look down on me, thinking I'm a thief. But in that chaotic situation, I was the only one who made a decision. Everything we have now is well-deserved!"

"You bunch of bookworms from the research institute, without the protection of the fleet and soldiers, how could you comfortably conduct experiments in the laboratory? Not only do you not show gratitude, but you also dare to defy me!"

"I really dislike it when people defy me. Before leaving the fleet, I once cut off a subordinate's tongue..."

"Mr. Alengel is the top scientist of the Skrull Empire, but for scientific research, he doesn't need a tongue, Dr. Schiller. I believe he can handle it himself, right?"

Schiller didn't say anything, just nodded. The next moment, the knife swooshed through the air, grazing Nick's ear. Blood sprayed, but it wasn't a tongue that flew out, but a black ear.

With a soft thud, the black ear hit the ground and gradually transformed into green, revealing the unique Skrull stripes. Nick quickly backed away, and in front of him, Tony Stark revealed a cold smile.

His skin gradually turned blue, and his figure became slender. Mystique, holding the knife, transformed into Tony Stark. Schiller charged towards Nick in her new form.

Nick turned around, crossing his arms in front of him. With a loud bang, he was sent flying, crashing into the wall behind him. Schiller soared into the air, her appearance changing.

Her hair continued to grow, black strands floating freely, with a white strand gently falling to her forehead. She-Devil, also known as Copycat, flew directly towards Nick, delivering an uppercut to his chin.

Mystique snorted coldly and threw the knife in her hand. With a swoosh, the knife pierced Nick's shoulder, causing him to scream in pain.

The impostor Nick, or Gana General, couldn't comprehend what was happening. The next moment, a female demon's fist appeared before him.

Gana was once again sent flying, from one wall to the other. He covered his bleeding nose and mouth, shouting, "Who are you?!! How can you... how can you disguise yourselves..."

Mystique transformed back into Tony Stark once more. With a few clicks, her combat suit was armed and ready. She flew into the air, firing a shot at Gana's leg.

Gana let out a scream, stumbling to his feet and rolling to the side to avoid the female demon's attack.

His arm, which was nearby, transformed into a mechanical blueprint, forming a massive cannon. With a loud bang, a projectile shot toward the steel combat suit. Mystique evaded it and fired another shot from a different angle at Gana.

Seeing that the first attack missed, Gana's blueprint legs manifested again, and he was propelled out of Stark Tower's building. She-Devil and Mystique, in her steel combat suit, followed suit.

Gana snorted coldly, saying, "Whoever you are, your science and technology are as primitive as cavemen's. You think you can challenge me? Dream on!"

Just then, he heard a shout from a laboratory one floor below Stark Tower: "Follow my signal frequency and launch interference!! Make his equipment malfunction!!!"

Gana looked down, and in the glass curtain wall on the lower floor, a person who looked exactly like Tony Stark was speaking to a green-haired woman, saying:

"Gana, a foolish thief... If you hadn't warned me in advance, I might have lost my tongue!"

"His weakness is that all his equipment is remotely projected by a spaceship. As long as we use specific electromagnetic signals to interfere, it will immediately malfunction. I designed the spaceship's weapon projection system myself. Think you can take me on? Dream on!"

In the next moment, Polaris soared into the sky, her hair flowing in the wind as an electromagnetic storm swept over the Stark Tower. Instantly, the physical equipment that had just taken shape from the blueprint reverted back to its original form.

Gana, flying on the rooftop more than thirty stories high, began to plummet the moment he lost lift, like a bullet, piercing through the New York skyline at incredible speed.

During his descent, he cursed under his breath, and green-striped tattoos on his arm appeared. With a flash of light, a portal materialized below him. With a swish, he fell into the portal and disappeared.

However, shortly after, sorcerers led by Strange appeared on the rooftop of Stark Tower. Strange's red cloak fluttered in the wind as he raised his staff, emitting a bright beam of light into the sky.

Instantly, the Earthmagic defense network activated, and all energy signals of teleportation techniques converged along the intricate magic channels, culminating at the tip of his staff. He looked up and said solemnly, "We've got him! In a spatial fragment southwest of the Broken Dimension, tell them to prepare for transport!"

Gana touched down on the ground of the Skrull Polar Star spaceship's main vessel, relieved. He covered his bleeding ear and took a deep breath.

But in the next moment, a portal opened, and Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Nick Fury, and Schiller appeared before him.

"You..." Gana initially took a cautious step back but then realized that this was the Skrulls' flagship. Only Skrulls should know its location, so these people should be Skrulls disguised as humans...

But soon, he remembered that it was Skrull scientist Alengel who had betrayed him, causing his equipment to malfunction, forcing him to use the emergency teleportation technique to escape...

However, he also recalled that the true identities of these superheroes should already be deceased. They couldn't possibly be here. The ones who appeared here could only be Skrulls disguised as superheroes...

Standing still, Gana felt waves of dizziness. Truth and falsehood were indistinguishable, and he couldn't tell who was real and who was not.

The superheroes wasted no time. Schiller waved his hand, Steve swung his shield, sending Gana flying, and Peter followed with a heavy punch, causing Gana to pass out on the spot.

When the portal lit up again, Mystique walked in, and Gana was already pinned to the ground by Steve and Peter.

Mystique approached slowly, and as she got closer to Gana, her body gradually changed. Her skin turned green, and in the next moment, Skrull General Gana stood once again in the cockpit.

Entering the control room, Mystique placed her hand on the control panel. Instantly, an unlock icon appeared, and she revealed a proud, cold smile.

Although Mystique couldn't mimic superpowers like Skrulls, her physiological mimicry was more perfect than that of Skrulls. She could directly change her own cells and tissue structure. As long as it was a humanoid creature existing in reality, she could perfectly mimic its physiological structure.

Moreover, Skrulls and humans had little difference in appearance. Therefore, every cell on the Gana she imitated was identical to the original.

As a result, the spaceship's physiological scan and unlock function were perfectly deceived.

Following that, Stark arrived at the spaceship's control panel. He stepped on the accelerator, and the superluminal engine began to tremble.

In an instant, the spaceship disappeared, leaving only Schiller's voice echoing in the vast space.

"Full speed ahead, destination: Large Magellanic Cloud, Kree Empire's first starport!"

"Set sail, let's crash into it!"

Could this be a huge collision ahead?
