Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 334 Reunion
"Boom~"

With a loud bang, Luca's figure flashed as he instantly entered his half-dragon form.

As he kicked away the ruins behind him, he firmly stomped on Rhodes, who was trying to ambush him.

Of course, this so-called 'Rhodes' was actually a Skrull in disguise.

However, he was indeed wearing Rhodes's Iron Patriot suit.

That's probably why he survived the fall to the ground.

Even after being stepped on, this guy was still trying to use his mech to fight back.

Without a word, Luca reached out and pressed his hand against the guy's head. Through the guy's battle suit and helmet, he released a mental shock at close range, instantly stunning him.

Meanwhile, Vision, who was leading the team, had also arrived.

Looking at Luca, who was standing on the ruins with Rod under his feet, he slowly floated over.

“Mr. Luca”

Vision had barely opened his mouth when Luca raised his hand to interrupt him.

He simply nudged Skrullod at his feet, signaling him to keep an eye on things for him, and then answered the phone in his hand.

At that moment, on the other end of the video call was Gwen, whose communication had been interrupted earlier due to the sudden battle.

As soon as the video call connected, Luca immediately recognized that Gwen was communicating using the [tracking glasses] he had given her, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

However, Gwen on the other side, while letting out a sigh of relief, suddenly became tense again.

"Luca, is it really you?!"

Luca was taken aback at first, but then realized that Gwen might have become suspicious of his identity because of the sudden disconnection.

Without further ado, he raised his left hand in front of the communication camera, then made a light slash with his right hand, and bright red blood immediately flowed out.

The fact that the wound did not turn green is undoubtedly the best proof of his true identity.

"You, you also encountered those green-skinned monsters?!"

At this moment, Natasha and the others, who had been hiding to the side, finally entered the scene. Seeing Luca's action, they immediately understood that Luca must have already fought with those Skrulls, which was why he could react so quickly to Gwen's ambiguous question.

Seeing this, Luca thought for a moment, then bent down and picked up the imposter Rod who had just been knocked unconscious by him.

Then, with a slight exertion of its right mechanical arm, it easily pried open the goblin's visor, revealing the goblin's green face inside.

He then began to explain.

“These Skrulls just tricked me into coming here using Gwen’s identity, trying to ambush and capture me alive.”

"But now, as you've seen..."

As he spoke, Luca casually turned the camera around, showing the mess around him to the people on the other end of the call.

Looking at the green-skinned corpses scattered all over the ground and the ravaged earth, everyone swallowed hard.

However, considering Luca's previous feat of single-handedly destroying the entire city of New York along with countless demons, this small scene seems insignificant.

Of course, they didn't know that even this was the effect achieved without Luca being able to use his mech and with many items being restricted.

However, Natasha was the first to react, immediately asking softly, "That earthquake just now, was it because you were fighting those green-skinned creatures?! No, Luca! Do you know who those green-skinned monsters are?!"

Halfway through her sentence, Natasha suddenly realized that Luca had just mentioned that these green-skinned creatures with camouflage abilities were called 'Skrugs'.

Although it's unclear why Luca knows these things, he clearly possesses information that they are unaware of.

Thinking of this, the faces of the people on the other end of the communication all showed a hint of joy.

The incident happened so suddenly that they were almost wiped out, and they were kept in the dark the whole time. Now that Luca really knows something, it would be good news for everyone.

"Well, I know a little bit. Where are you now? We can talk more when we meet. This guy is just unconscious, there must be more information."

As he spoke, Luca shook the green leather bag in his hand again.

The people on the other side exchanged glances upon hearing this, and in the end, Natasha gritted her teeth and chose to believe Luca.

Now that the situation has reached this point, she, who knows Luca's strength, is very clear that if the real Luca falls into the hands of those green-skinned monsters, then none of them should even think about resisting.

“xxx, xxx. This is my safe house. Apart from myself, even Fury and Clint don’t know about it.”

Looking at the location Natasha had given him, although it wasn't far from the refugee camp, Luca still asked Spot to open the door for him.

However, this time Luca not only let Vision get ahead of him, but even took out the [Dehydration Gun] and [Faust Hat] to equip himself.

Although it's highly likely that the other side isn't in disguise, it's always better to be cautious.

Having just suffered a loss, he wasn't about to be foolish enough to fall into an ambush again. With these two pieces of equipment, he believed he could handle most situations with ease.

However, seeing Luca with a band of light wrapped around his neck and a 'gun' in his hand, looking ready for battle at any moment, made Natasha and the others in the safe house a little nervous.

Fortunately, after Luca crossed the portal, he only glanced at the ring on his hand before putting the 'gun' back in his pocket.

"This is just necessary caution."

"But don't worry, I've already confirmed that you are all the same person."

As he spoke, Luca raised the green ring on his left hand, which was now emitting only a very faint red glow.

"This is a device I made myself that can distinguish the souls of the Skrulls around me. However, its range is not large, and currently it can only barely distinguish how many Skrulls there are by the intensity of the light."

The reason the ring was still glowing red was because Luca was still holding a fake Rod in his hand.

However, the unchanged intensity of the red light was enough to ensure that Gwen and the others in front of them were not Skrull imposters.

"A device for distinguishing...distinguishing Skrulls?"

"It even has this name? So, Luca, you knew all along where these monsters came from?"

Natasha, who was already very meticulous, immediately grasped the key point in Luca's words.

While it's possible that Luca learned the names of these monsters from previous encounters, the fact that he even created a device to identify them beforehand clearly indicates that Luca had anticipated their appearance.

Upon hearing Natasha's question, Luca thought for a moment and decided not to hide anything, answering directly.

"Yeah, I knew it a long time ago, but I always thought it was just some little trick Nick Fury pulled."
