Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 113: Trolley Problem (Update)
Returning to the living room, Steve Rogers sighed slightly as he looked at everyone who had fallen into numbness due to the hardships they had experienced during this period of time and the fact that they had not been able to obtain any key information from the Skrull captives.

Now they know the secret plans of the Skrulls, and also know why they suddenly launched an invasion of Earth.

But these things did not help them solve the problem at all.

The Skrulls have so many extraordinary powers in their hands, including the Defenders, the Avengers, and even some villains with superpowers.

During the nearly forty years since the Skrulls came to Earth to serve as Nick Fury's "dogs", God knows how much biological information of extraordinary beings they have secretly collected with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is not a single enemy. The Skrull invasion is unlike any they have experienced before. It is a surprise attack lurking in the darkness of the world.

They are not as loosely organized as Hydra with a divided leadership, nor are they like Ultron who only has a collective intelligence and wants to destroy all intelligent creatures without any emotion.

These Skrulls can be said to have combined the advantages of both of them. This is a war, a secret war that may not seem as grand as the one started by Thanos, but it poses a huge threat to everyone.

As the first and last line of defense for the Earth, everyone present felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders.

If they fail this time, it means that they will hand over the Earth to the Skrulls.

After this, the Skrulls will have no opponents. They will completely control the situation and reshuffle the national organizations on Earth and bring them under their own command.

"Rods has been replaced, and no one knows how many fake Skrulls there are in the military. I'm afraid we really have no backup." Natasha slumped in the chair and put her legs on the table.

"Where's the king?" Tony Stark remembered something and couldn't help but ask. "With such a big incident, there should be wizards on Earth who are willing to help, right?"

"The Supreme Sanctuary in New York was breached by the Skrulls with the help of the power of Ebony Maw." Jessica Jones glanced at Suze and continued. "It seems that those wizards are still unaware of the situation here."

Hearing this, Tony Stark's eyes were a little lonely, but then he continued, "I remember Strange said that the New York Sanctuary is connected to the other two Sanctuaries. If we can take it down, maybe we can find some reinforcements."

Hearing this, Jessica Jones turned her gaze to Su Ze. This question was not something she could answer. The person who knew those wizards best was Su Ze.

"Not very likely."

Su Ze shook his head, recalling his first visit to the New York Sanctuary, and he spoke.

"When I went to the Sanctuary of New York, it had already been occupied by the Skrulls. A wizard who had betrayed the Sanctuary of New York had previously destroyed the portal of the Sanctuary. The Skrulls could not have been unaware of this. If we want to find those wizards, we have to go there ourselves or find a way to find Kamar-Taj."

"What about Wakanda?" Steve Rogers thought of this staunch ally.

"When I was assigned to perform a mission in Wakanda, SHIELD sent a person in charge to take over the mission. That guy said a lot of strange things to me, and I didn't react at the time."

Su Ze continued, "Now that I think about it, those guys are probably Skrulls in disguise. If we go to Wakanda, we will be walking into their trap."

As soon as these words were spoken, a faint sigh was heard in the living room again.

The Skrulls have now blocked the border and are searching the world for everyone. It is almost impossible to fly to other temples to bypass surveillance. The situation in Wakanda is now a mystery, and no one knows whether they will be greeted or bombarded.

As for the three most powerful fighters of the Avengers now, two have left Earth and cannot be contacted at all, and one is still missing in the battle with the Skrulls.

The wave of bad news made everyone present worried.

At this time, Rocket Raccoon looked at the silent atmosphere, suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Why are you all so depressed? Don't we already know where the Skrull Council is? Isn't it better to just go and take care of their headquarters?"

Listening to Rocket Raccoon's words, a few people raised their heads.

Just now, with the help of the 'truth serum', everyone did get the current location of the so-called parliament from the Skrull captives.

In order to better control the situation and to produce a large number of super Skrulls and put them into battle as soon as possible, the Skrulls set up the parliament in New York.

As the Naskru captives said, the seat of the Parliament is nowhere else but in the very center of New York, and also in its most iconic building - the former Stark Building.

When hearing this information, the most embarrassed person was Tony Stark.

He really didn't expect that since he announced "I am Iron Man", he would always be involved in almost every major crisis faced by the Avengers.

When Loki led his army to invade the earth, the portal was opened on top of his Stark Tower. Needless to say, Ultron was built by him personally and he paid the price of Jarvis.

Later, he met Thanos, the nightmare that had lingered in Tony Stark's mind for many years and was the culprit that caused him to fall into severe anxiety. He originally thought that the other party was just a madman who killed people indiscriminately, but he did not expect that the other party actually knew him and had been friends with him for a long time.

This time, facing the secret invasion of the Skrulls, Tony Stark finally thought that this matter had nothing to do with him. As a result, the only hero who was replaced among the Avengers was his good brother Rhodes.

The most important thing is that those Skrulls managed to set up their headquarters in Stark Tower.

It seems that not only does one need to select the seller when buying a house, but one also needs to confirm the identity of the buyer when selling a house.
Steve Rogers looked at Rocket Raccoon and said in a deep voice, "That is the most central location in New York. Since they chose to build the parliament there, I'm afraid the defense will definitely not be weak."

"And we don't know where those who were replaced are being held now." Natasha also raised her head and said.

"Even if we are lucky and take advantage of the lack of defense to kill all the way to the Skrull Council headquarters, if they use the lives of those imprisoned as a threat, we are afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Rocket Raccoon twitched his ears.

Seeing this, Natasha opened her mouth, but didn't say it clearly, but changed her words and said, "Those people are our colleagues, friends, and senior leaders of various departments. They are the backbone of this society."

"So what?" Rocket Raccoon still didn't understand.

"So we can't abandon those people. After the extinction crisis, the whole world is in chaos. If those people die, the world's political power will become even more chaotic." Steve Rogers replied.

Trolley problem.

This philosophical question involving morality and human ethics has always been a classic question that every superhero faces after his debut.

Whether it is Captain America, Iron Man, or Spider-Man from other parallel universes, they have all paid a huge price when facing this question.

From their perspective, this kind of weighing of interests and sacrifices should not be a choice they make because they do not have the power to do so.

But for Rocket Raccoon, he only has one question - can't he be killed?
"That's all bullshit! You just don't want to shoulder the responsibility that comes with making a choice."

Rocket Raccoon pointed at Steve Rogers' nose and yelled.

"Why are you still thinking about these things? Kill one person to save ten, or kill ten to save one? Shouldn't you have thought this through long ago when you embarked on this path? Or are you going to tell me that you would rather let the entire Earth fall into the hands of the Skrulls than bear the moral judgment from the world?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze. Steve Rogers did not speak, he just turned his gaze away from Rocket Raccoon.

The others were also silent, and no one responded to Rocket Raccoon.

"What do you mean?"

Rocket Raccoon stared at the scene in a daze.

"You guys are really going to do this? Wake up, okay? This is a war, a war started by the Skrulls! Who among you here doesn't have blood on your hands, directly or indirectly? Are you going to deceive yourselves for the rest of your lives?!"

Listening quietly to Rocket Raccoon's scolding, a hint of hesitation flashed across everyone's faces. Most people focused their eyes on Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, hoping that one of them would stand up.

The two of them were also struggling with their conscience at this time. This choice was extremely difficult for anyone, because their choice would determine the fate of countless people.

But Rocket Raccoon didn't give them time to think. He turned to look at Suze and couldn't help but speak.

"Kaiya, don't tell me you think the same way."

Su Ze, who had been resting with his eyes closed, finally slowly opened his eyes after hearing this.

"of course not."

Su Ze spoke calmly.

"It doesn't matter to me whether those people live or die."

"Kaia!" Natasha frowned, as if she didn't expect Su Ze to make a decision so quickly.

Su Ze raised his hand to interrupt Natasha and continued, "But I think if we can divide the Skrulls' fighting power, it might be a chance for us to win."

"What does it mean to differentiate combat power?"

Everyone looked at Su Ze curiously.

Seeing this, Su Ze did not keep the person in suspense, but spoke in a deep voice.

"From the time the Skrulls began to invade to the few brief battles we had before, the reason why all of us are able to sit here alive now is because we divided the combat power of those super Skrulls, making it impossible for them to deal with us accurately and restrainedly according to their plan."

"If we can take this opportunity to attack the Parliament and the hostage detention center at the same time, then the Super Skrulls in other locations will face the same problem: whether to save the Parliament or support the detention center."

"The problem is, we don't even know where the hostages are being held," said Steve Rogers.

And Su Ze narrowed his eyes mysteriously and smiled.

"Who said we didn't know?"
