#1188 - Wanda's Runaway

"Just because you can attack me like this doesn't mean you can find all the Skrulls in this way. No one can stop the secret invasion!" The Skrull soul continued to look at everyone and said with a sneer.

"After all, the current situation of the Avengers is not good. Do you have the courage to question the military or politicians? Don't forget that half of the people are alive now. Can you guess, among them, are there any of us Skrulls?"

"Carol, you know the Skrulls best. Who do you think they will disguise themselves as?" Hearing the Skrulls' provocation, Steve frowned, thought of what happened before, turned his head to look at Carol and asked.

After all, from the brief conversation between Robert and Carol just now, Steve also knew that Carol in the universe was basically dealing with the Skrulls, so Steve wanted to get some information from Carol.

"Actually, I don't care too much about the Skrulls. Nick Fury is basically the one who coordinates and communicates with the Skrulls..." Carol hesitated for a moment, but still started to explain.

The Avengers naturally knew about Carol and Nick Fury's comradeship, because Carol returned to Earth because of Nick Fury's rescue signal.

It was also because of Carol's appearance that the Avengers had the confidence to deal with Thanos, but they were directly wiped out by Thanos. It was not until just now that Bruce Banner borrowed Robert's Infinity Stones to resurrect the Avengers of this universe.

"Nick Fury?" Tony Stark frowned when he heard that. To be honest, Tony Stark didn't trust this former director of SHIELD who had a lot of secrets and whose style of doing things was not much different from that of Hydra. Especially now that Nick Fury was involved with the Skrulls, Tony Stark distrusted Nick Fury even more.

After all, even she herself couldn't tell that Rhodes had been replaced and disguised by someone else. Could Carol really guarantee that the Nick Fury whom she hadn't met for so many years was the original Nick Fury?

"Is the Nick Fury in this universe still alive?" Robert looked at Carol and Tony Stark with some surprise. After all, the Nick Fury in their universe had died a long time ago, and he was one of the very few victims who died directly at the hands of the Skrulls.

From the subsequent review, Robert was able to know that the reason why Nick Fury was killed was mainly because he was too vigilant and resisted too fiercely, even killing a Skrull, which led to his tragic death at the hands of the Skrulls.

Otherwise, the Skrulls would not easily kill those who replaced them, because they also need to rely on the replaced ones to continue to obtain the disguise information, and also to prevent no one from continuing to disguise after their own people died.

Of course, this is the situation in the universe where Robert is located. Robert is not really clear about what this universe is like. After all, there are still some differences between different universes.

"The Nick Fury of your universe is dead?" Carol's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked quickly, "How did he die?"

"He died at the hands of the Skrulls, and was eventually disguised by the Skrulls as a high-ranking human being, who opposed the Avengers at every turn." Robert organized his words and said, "By the way, the Avengers in our universe were not formed by Nick Fury. Of course, the concept was indeed proposed by Nick Fury at the beginning, but Steve and Tony did not trust Nick Fury, an agent politician..."

"Moreover, it was later confirmed that SHIELD was indeed full of Hydra undercover agents. Even Nick Fury's own style of doing things was too much like an agent. In essence, apart from the lack of conspiracy, he was actually no different from Hydra."

"Wait, the Avengers in your universe are not led by Nick Fury, so how do you become an officially recognized organization?" Steve frowned when he heard this and temporarily ignored the matter about the Skrulls. Instead, he became curious about this key question.

Because this issue is also crucial to the Avengers of this universe. After S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded and Nick Fury went from being a light to a dark force, no one could help the Avengers mediate the relationship between them and the official agencies. This led to the official agencies proposing the Superhero Registration Act, which wanted to completely recruit superheroes as employees. It also led to internal divisions within the Avengers.

Steve felt that even if the Skrull issue could be resolved, the complex relationship between them and official agencies would still affect the way they act in the future, so Steve wanted to learn from the experience of the Robert Universe.

"Oh, the Steve in our universe lived longer, and there are many of his descendants and admirers in official organizations. Moreover, Peggy Carter also had a lot of connections before she retired, especially in Europe. Plus, Tony is richer..." Robert spread his hands, wondering why the Steve in this universe would ask such a basic question.

"Did he choose skydiving back then?" Steve seemed to realize something when he heard Robert's words. He murmured to himself with some melancholy for a moment, and fell into silence, as if he was recalling his own life.

"Then let's contact Nick Fury first!" Tony Stark took a look at the Skrull's soul, finally made a decision, and said, "No matter how difficult it is, we always have to try. After all, we can't just do nothing, right?"

"Great, let's contact Nick Fury and ask him to come over first!" Steve came back to his senses after hearing this and agreed, "If Nick Fury has been replaced by the Skrulls, then we can also find out his problem, right?"

"I'll go pick them up?" Strange looked at everyone in surprise and said, "I don't know where they are..."

"Friday, help contact Nick Fury and lock his signal!" Tony Stark gave the order directly.

"Okay, boss." Friday responded and quickly dialed Nick Fury's number.

"Friday? Where is Jarvis?" Robert blinked in confusion. He had never heard of Friday. It was Jarvis who had always been running the Avengers base.

"Didn't the Ultron incident happen in your universe?" Bruce Banner asked in a low voice.

"Yes, but Ultron can destroy Jarvis' database? Are you kidding?" Robert frowned, and then thought that Jarvis in this universe might not have encountered several cosmic-level super artificial intelligence data, and also had not been upgraded to a level beyond the earth's level. Robert nodded in understanding.

"Ultron destroyed Jarvis' program. Afterwards, we integrated Jarvis' offline backup data and created Vision, making him a true living being." Bruce Banner continued to explain.

"Vision? You actually succeeded?" Robert widened his eyes in surprise. The experiment that failed in their universe actually succeeded in this universe. This made Robert want to see Vision. "What about Vision? Is he a pure mechanical life, a semi-mechanical life, or a living artificial human?"

"We don't know what type Vision is, because Vision is dead. Part of his consciousness comes from Jarvis, but the core is the Mind Stone." Bruce Banner sighed and whispered, "Thanos took the Mind Stone from Vision's head, and finally turned Vision into a lifeless body..."

With a "swish" sound, while Bruce Banner was talking to Robert, Strange had already opened the ring of fire portal and brought Nick Fury over.

"What's going on? Wait! Skrulls? When did you replace Rhodes?" When Nick Fury came over, he saw Rhodes lying on the ground. Then he was affected by Strange's magic and saw the Skrulls floating in the air. With Nick Fury's governance level and reasoning ability, he instantly understood what happened.

"Long time no see, Nick." However, facing Nick Fury's questioning, the Skrull did not feel guilty at all, but greeted him with a frank smile.

"Does Talos know about this? Or is this Talos' plan?" Nick Fury's face was as gloomy as he stared at the Skrull in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes or no, what does it matter?" The Skrull's expression remained unchanged, and he said jokingly, "Do you think you can change anything?"

"Does Pricia know about these things? Or does Farah know about these things?" Nick Fury took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, word by word.

"Huh?" The Skrull's pupils shrank slightly, as if he was frightened by what Nick Fury said, but he quickly calmed down and looked like he didn't want to say anything.

"It's okay, I'll go and find out." Nick Fury took a deep look at the Skrull in front of him and said, then turned his head to look at Strange and said, "Mage, help me open a portal, I want to go back..."

"Do you have any new clues? Can you find where Rhodes is?" Tony Stark nodded at Strange and then looked at Nick Fury and asked.

"If everything goes well, you don't have to follow me." Nick Fury shook his head slowly and walked into the fire ring portal and said.

"Not really, maybe because he already has a Skrull wife, so he doesn't need to be replaced?" Robert shrugged and said softly.

"Maybe." Steve and Tony Stark breathed a sigh of relief, and Tony Stark gave an order, "Friday, pull up the video footage..."

"Okay, boss." Friday responded, and then an image appeared in front of everyone. It was the video footage of Nick Fury.

There was a "click" sound, but the image did not last long. When Nick Fury entered a house, the image disappeared directly, accompanied by a shattering sound.

"Huh?" At this moment, Robert raised his eyebrows and looked in one direction with some surprise. This was not the direction of Nick Fury's house, but another place. There, Robert sensed a powerful force, which was no weaker than Thor and Carol at this moment, and was even moving towards a more powerful level.

"Is this Wanda from your world?" Robert seemed to realize something. "Why did she suddenly go berserk? Is her ability out of control?"

"Wanda went berserk?!" The Avengers' faces changed when they heard this. As Wanda's teammates, or even people who had fought against her before, many of them knew about Wanda. When they heard that Wanda went berserk, they all lost their composure.

"I seem to sense it, such a terrifying power, it seems endless..." Strange's expression changed, he stared in the direction Robert was looking, and then the fire ring portal in his hand opened, and what came into the eyes of the Avengers was a dilapidated laboratory. Just from the broken building of the laboratory, it can be seen that there were all high-tech equipment here before, but they are all destroyed now.

“Wanda! Are you okay?” Steve was the first to rush into the lab, and hurriedly shouted at Wanda, whose body was surging with crimson airflow, “What happened? Who is hurting you?”

"Wanda, are you okay?" Hawkeye followed behind, with the bow and arrow raised in his hand. He looked around vigilantly, and then saw the agents who looked alert and a little embarrassed, but not injured.

"They... they will kill Vision... they will kill Vision..." When Wanda heard what Steve and Hawkeye said, her body kept shaking and her voice stuttered, full of grievances that she could not hold back.

It was like a little girl who had been bullied and finally received help from her family. She couldn't help but speak out all the grievances in her heart.

"Vision? Asshole!" Tony Stark followed behind. He noticed the objects on the experimental tables around him, then his expression changed and flames of anger flashed in his eyes.

The surrounding experimental tables were not affected at all, even when Wanda went berserk, she did not destroy them. It was like even though Wanda was so powerful, she still maintained the last bit of kindness when she went berserk, and did not kill the experimenters and agents around her, even though killing them was as easy as stepping on an ant.

On the surrounding experimental tables are different pieces of machinery with a large number of interconnected circuits. On the central experimental table is Vision's faded head that has lost its Mind Gem and the various circuits connected to it.

This scene was unacceptable to the Avengers, because although Vision was a created life, they had already regarded Vision as their comrade-in-arms and a real life... (End of this chapter)
