Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.
Chapter 289 A Deal: You Might Make a Fortune, But I'll Never Lose.
Three days after the war, Avengers Tower.
A postwar conference is underway.
Tony pulled up a series of post-war damage assessment charts and projected them onto the center of the conference table.
"Guys, even though the casualties were well controlled this time, the economic losses still break my heart."
He tapped the table and raised the first issue.
"We can't always be on the defensive and take the hits."
"Therefore, I propose... to initiate the AI-powered mech mass production program."
"We want to build a tireless steel army to surround the Earth in space 24 hours a day, keeping threats as far as possible out of the atmosphere!"
According to the original trajectory, Captain America should have slammed his fist on the table and objected at this point.
But now, Captain America is behaving incredibly obediently.
After Hulk, who wasn't controlled by a superstar, shattered his spine with a single punch, Captain America finally understood.
We really can't be soft-hearted when facing these monsters.
Of course, what's even more important is that... the current Avengers are no longer in a two-horse race!
Peter is the one in charge of the entire Avengers, and even the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.
In this situation, even if Tony develops any inappropriate thoughts later, Peter can easily suppress those potential threats.
If that's the case, why did he have to add unnecessary details?
Captain America remained silent, and the proposal was naturally passed unanimously.
Next is the second topic.
"Defense alone is not enough; we also need our own eyes."
Peter leaned forward, glanced around at everyone, and then spoke:
"Without Asgard's help in providing intelligence, the consequences of the Battle of New York would have been unimaginable."
"This also serves as a reminder that we cannot rely entirely on the help of the Asgardians; we must establish Earth-owned outposts in space."
This time, Captain America finally spoke up:
"Peter, your idea is good, but the problem is, who would want to stay in the lonely space for long? It's a great mission, but it's not fair to anyone."
"Don't worry, old popsicle buddy, I've already thought of the right person!"
Peter gave Captain America a mysterious smile, then uttered a name that surprised everyone present:
"That's... Nick Fury!"
"Black braised eggs?" Captain America blurted out.
After saying the words, she unconsciously covered her mouth, wondering how she had inadvertently spoken her true feelings.
After glancing around to make sure no one was laughing at him, Steve cleared his throat and said casually:
"Um... wasn't former Director Nick already transferred to the CIA for dereliction of duty? I'm afraid now..."
Captain America wanted to say that the execution had already taken place 10 minutes ago, but then he felt it wouldn't be appropriate, so he simply kept quiet. Anyway, what happened next is something we all know...
"That guy has been secretly plotting within S.H.I.E.L.D. for so many years, how could he be so easily controlled by someone else?"
As Peter spoke, he then opened a surveillance video, which showed Nick Fury being taken away by the Skrulls after being put into a CIA vehicle.
"Leave the job of finding him to me. From now on, he will be in charge of the space patrol and guard duties. This can be considered as atonement for his previous dereliction of duty."
Upon hearing this, no one objected.
After the meeting, Peter didn't hesitate. He immediately set off on his flying skateboard and began searching for Skrulls throughout the United States.
The Skrulls possess perfect shapeshifting abilities, allowing them to infiltrate human society undetected.
This would be a tricky problem for others.
But it's not so easy for Peter, who has the ability to roll his eyes.
Peter quickly found a Skrull, grabbed him by the neck, and forced him to lead him to the Skrulls' lair—the Marvel Near-Earth Orbit Laboratory.
Without any hesitation, Peter barged in.
Suddenly, the alarm blared.
Countless fully armed Skrulls, wielding energy guns, surged out from all directions, surrounding him completely, but not one dared to pull the trigger on Peter.
Just kidding, these Skrulls watch the news too!
Nowadays, who doesn't know that the Arbiter's power is so terrifying that it can easily destroy even the Chitauri's mothership?
They're nothing but rotten fish and shrimp; how could they possibly be a match for the other side?
"Call your manager out here."
Before long, Talos, the leader of the Skrulls on Earth, rushed to the scene.
Peter glanced at the old Skrull, and without wasting words, went straight to the point:
Where is Nick Fury?
Talos hesitated for a moment, but still ordered his men to bring Fury out of the secret room.
Looking at Nick Fury, who was alive and well, Peter couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark:
"Just as I expected, you black-faced bastard are not only a traitor to Hydra, but also a traitor to Earth."
Black Egg was furious, but he knew that Peter must be of some use to come to him, so he didn't say anything and just let Peter vent his anger.
Seeing his expression, Peter felt a little bored, so he simply spoke to Talos:
"Give me your people, and in exchange, I will personally go to space and help you find a habitable planet that belongs entirely to the Skrulls."
"Once I find a suitable planet for you, you'd better get out of here immediately. If I find even one Skrull daring to stay, kill them without mercy!"
Upon hearing this, Talos's previously dim pupils instantly lit up, and even his breathing quickened:
"Are you...are you serious?"
He even used honorifics when he spoke.
Peter glanced at Fury, who remained silent beside him, and said sarcastically:
"I'm not like those black-laced eggs over there who like to make empty promises."
"He will be in charge of monitoring all movements in space from the space outpost, at which point you can continue to reunite in space."
Recall Peter's almost omnipotent performance in the news and live broadcasts, where he could easily defeat even top-tier opponents like Superstar and Black Dwarf.
Taros, naturally, dared not harbor the slightest doubt and immediately agreed to the deal.
He simply tossed the black braised egg to Peter.
On the way back with Black Lu Dan, after observing Peter for a long time, Black Lu Dan finally asked:
"Why...why did you save me?"
"Don't overthink it," Peter said coldly after glancing at him.
"We just need someone to do the work!"
After leaving the black-faced man speechless, Peter couldn't help but secretly plan his upcoming space trip.
He was certainly not a philanthropist; he made the deal with the Skrulls purely on the side.
He had long considered a suitable planet for the Skrulls to live on.
The answer is Star-Lord's father—Ego, the living planet.
That old man was a genuine Celestial being, not only incredibly powerful, but also possessing the ability to share energy.
Peter had been eyeing this ability for a long time.
All we need to do is kill Igor.
Firstly, it could provide a living environment for the Skrulls, allowing them to leave Earth.
Secondly, he could use the broken watch to extract his genes, making himself a perfect celestial being.
Then he can share the power of the gods with Gwen, Felicia, and the others, allowing them to break through their own limitations!
This wave might make the Skrulls a fortune, but I, Peter, will never lose out!
