#1187 - Internal Conflict and Hard-Talk

"I've just said that only super Skrulls can disguise themselves as super beings, while ordinary Skrulls, even super soldiers like Steve, can't disguise themselves." Robert was speaking when he suddenly paused. He thought of the differences and rules between the two universes.

"Of course, this is the situation in our universe. Your universe may be a little different, so this matter is not absolute."

As Robert's words fell, the Avengers' faces changed. Although they were still a little skeptical about Robert's words, the news about the Skrulls' secret invasion was still too threatening, forcing them to be alert.

But the problem is that all the people present are comrades who have experienced many battles, and it is really difficult for them to accept that their comrades are others in disguise.

But after learning about this, they instinctively looked at the people around them, wanting to see if anyone was behaving abnormally.

"So, do you have a way to find a Skrull who has successfully disguised himself?" Carol didn't look at the Avengers around her, because she was not familiar with the Avengers. Although she had recognized disguised Skrulls before, she couldn't recognize every disguised Skrull.

"I've found him." Robert shrugged and said with a smile, "After all, I have killed all the Skrulls in our universe, including the so-called Super Skrulls. As long as we don't give them a chance, they will be useless."

"Have you found him?" Carol finally looked towards the Avengers and asked seriously, "Will it cost a lot to find him? If so..."

"If you don't trust me, you can actually let the people from Kamar-Taj take action and let the guy next to the king open a portal to knock his soul out." Robert said, looking at Bruce Banner's laboratory in the image.

Of course Robert knew that the Avengers in this universe had no trust in him. That is, they all shared the same face and identity, and even their personalities were similar. It would inevitably feel weird if he forcefully attacked them, so Robert would give in a little.

Of course, if the Avengers in this world really don't know what's good for them and insist on touching Robert's bottom line, then Robert will naturally not be polite.

With a "swish" sound, the next moment, a ring of fire portal appeared between Robert and the Avengers. Bruce Banner walked in holding the unconscious King who had not yet woken up, and behind him was Strange who opened the ring of fire portal.

"So, who are the Skrulls you are talking about?" Steve nodded, looked at Robert and asked.

"Him." Robert pointed calmly at Rhodes, who was hiding in the crowd and was inconspicuous, and said.

Robert was not familiar with Rhodes. Although Tony Stark and Rhodes were good friends in Robert's universe and even gave Rhodes a set of mecha, someone like Rhodes who had no special abilities did not join the Avengers.

But Robert did feel a faint sense of strangeness from Rhodes. This strange feeling was an intuition formed by Robert after seeing a large number of Skrulls.

"This is impossible!" However, when Robert just pointed at Rhodes, Tony Stark exclaimed, and at the same time, he looked at Robert with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice, "Rhodes is my closest comrade-in-arms. We have known each other for many years. If he is someone else in disguise, I can't fail to notice it!"

"Maybe you don't understand the Skrulls." Robert looked at Tony Stark with amusement and said.

"That's right, Stark, you don't understand the Skrulls at all. If they disguise themselves as someone else, they can actually know all of that person's memories, and will even instinctively imitate that person's personality and behavior." Carol sighed and said in a low voice.

"Impossible! Are you questioning my IQ?" Tony Stark protected Rhodes behind him, stared at Robert and said in a deep voice.

Tony Stark didn't mean to target Carol, because Carol had saved his life before, and that was when he was most desperate.

But Tony Stark seemed to have forgotten that he was able to survive now only because Robert gave the Infinity Stones to Bruce Banner. Otherwise, Tony Stark would not be able to think about these things, let alone glare at Robert.

"Tony, it won't hurt to let him try. After all, didn't Strange say that knocking out the soul won't cause any harm to people." Steve opened his mouth slightly, looked at Tony Stark and reminded him in a low voice.

"Then if it was Bucky who was suspected, would you allow his soul to be beaten out of him?" Tony Stark seemed to be stressed when he heard Steve's words. He turned his head and roared at Steve like a lion.

This was not because of what Steve had just said, but because of a series of encounters between Steve and Tony Stark before.

This is something that did not happen in Robert's universe. The Bucky Barnes in this universe actually killed Tony Stark's parents. Even though Bucky Barnes was controlled by someone, Tony Stark was still very furious when he knew the truth.

But in this situation, Steve did not stand on Tony Stark's side, but chose to join forces with Bucky Barnes to deal with him in order to get Bucky Barnes off the hook.

Because of this, the Avengers fell into a state of division, and it was also at this time that Thanos and his men attacked, forcing the Avengers to deal with Thanos on different battlefields. Otherwise, they might have had a chance to prevent Thanos from collecting the six Infinity Stones from the beginning.

This matter has always been a knot in Tony Stark's heart, and the Tony Stark and Steve in this universe have not had a chance to resolve it. Now when he saw Steve questioning his good friend Rhodes again, Tony Stark suddenly exploded.

"First of all, Bucky can't be impersonated because Bucky also has the serum in his body." Steve shook his head seriously and said softly, "Besides, even if Bucky is impersonated, I can tell. Didn't I recognize him when Bucky was controlled before?"

"So you're going to help him fight me?" Tony Stark's face darkened, and he stared at Steve and said in a deep voice.

"Where did the topic go off track? The relationship between you two in your universe is a little weird. Steve and Tony in our universe are not like that." Seeing Tony Stark and Steve acting like an old couple quarreling over old grudges, Robert couldn't help but blink and complain.

In Robert's universe, Steve and Tony Stark did not have such weird emotions and atmosphere, because at the beginning, Steve in Robert's universe was an old man, and he was Tony Stark's elder from the beginning.

Even though Tony Stark was somewhat disgusted with Steve as a role model at first because of the education he received from Howard Stark since childhood, he still had some respect for Steve, an old warrior who had fought all his life.

Therefore, even though Steve later became rejuvenated because of the power of Shazam, Tony Stark still regarded Steve as a trustworthy elder.

Naturally, the Steve in this universe has not experienced as much as the Steve in the Robert Universe. The Steve in this universe did not skydive and experienced a long ice period. The things he has experienced are actually not more than Tony Stark.

At the beginning, Steve and Tony Stark were not very familiar with each other, and there might have been a slight generation gap between them. But after fighting side by side again and again, the two had become comrades who could entrust their lives and deaths to each other, and their relationship naturally became much closer.

It is precisely because Tony Stark has enough trust in Steve that he was so angry when he saw Steve helping Bucky Barnes to deal with him, especially since they in this universe did not experience the five years of annihilation and were killed one after another by Thanos.

However, the quarrel between Tony Stark and Steve did not affect Strange. Strange was a man with his own ideas, and to be honest, he was not that familiar with the Avengers, so he would not look at Tony Stark's face when he took action, let alone care what Tony Stark thought.

"What are you going to do?!" Rhodes looked at Strange walking straight up to him, his expression a little flustered, because he didn't know what the so-called soul-beating operation was, and whether his disguise would be exposed. But instinctively, Rhodes didn't want to have his soul beaten out.

"Stop!" Tony Stark, who was standing by, saw this and shouted loudly, but he had no way to move because Steve had already grabbed his arm, just like how Steve had stopped Tony Stark from killing Bucky Barnes before, leaving Tony Stark no time to activate his nano-mech.

With a "bang", Rhodes on the other side saw Strange getting closer and closer and wanted to resist, but his mecha was not the latest nano mecha after all, so he could only punch Strange.

However, Strange is a melee mage from the Kamar-Taj lineage after all. Although the physical fitness of their lineage is not stronger than that of ordinary people, Rhodes is just an ordinary soldier at this time and has not reached the extraordinary level. It is still easy for Strange to dodge his attacks.

With a "bang", the next moment, Strange, who had dodged Rhodes' attack, slapped Rhodes in the chest. Then Rhodes' soul flew out of his body, and Rhodes' body fell down and fell into a coma instantly.

Tony Stark also stopped his actions at this time, because what had happened had already happened and nothing could be done to change it. He just looked at the unconscious Rhodes with some hesitation, and for a while he could not tell what had happened. After all, he had no way of seeing the soul state of the Skrulls who had already revealed their true form.

Yes, Rhodes in this universe is indeed a Skrull, but only Robert and Strange can see the Skrulls in soul state. If Wanda were here, she should also be able to see it, but Wanda is looking for the remains of Vision and is not here.

"They can't see it, so what's the point of beating out his soul like this?" Robert noticed the expressions of the Avengers and shook his head speechlessly for a moment, reminding Strange who looked a little shocked when he saw the Skrulls.

"Oh..." Strange came back to his senses. He waved his hand, and a mysterious magical force enveloped the surroundings. The vision in front of the Avengers suddenly changed. They saw the Skrulls floating in the air, struggling desperately.

"Why did you secretly invade the Earth?!" The first person to come to her senses was Carol. She stared at the Skrull soul with an angry expression and questioned.

However, the Skrull in the soul state did not answer Carol's question. He continued to struggle, as if this would allow him to return to his body.

The only problem is that the magic of Kamar-Taj is not so easy to remove, especially without the corresponding ability, the Skrulls can only do useless work now.

"How many of you Skrulls have come to Earth? Who are you disguised as?!" Steve asked anxiously while staring at the Skrulls' soul voices.

If the Skrulls could disguise themselves as an Avenger like Rhodes, Steve couldn't imagine how many other people they could disguise themselves as. After all, the people in human official institutions were all ordinary people, and the Skrulls could even read the differences, so the entire human official secrets would be no different from transparent in front of the Skrulls!

"Wait! Where's Rhodes!? Where did the original Rhodes go?!" Tony Stark came back to his senses from his shock at this time. He didn't have time to care about why he didn't notice any clues about Rhodes. He stared at the Skrull's soul and asked in a deep voice.

Tony Stark still held out a glimmer of hope at this time because he was unwilling to accept the news of Rhodes' death.

"Haha, you will never know these questions!" At this time, after struggling in vain, the Skrull seemed to have finally given up struggling. He turned his head to meet the angry eyes of Steve, Tony Stark and Carol, and sneered with an unchanged expression. (End of this chapter)
