Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 344 Both Sides' Actions
During this period, the whole world was in a state of panic and fear.

The reason is simple: the live television broadcast from within the United States had already been leaked, and the content of it was truly horrifying.

Although, aside from the initial part where the imposter Captain America spoke, the video of the 'real' Captain America's appearance was not very long, and not much was revealed on the surface.

But this world is never short of smart people, and it is even more full of conspiracy theorists who think they are smart and good at making connections.

From the Avengers splitting up and being wanted, to the appearance of the "real Captain America," confirming that someone was impersonating an Avenger, and that there was clearly more than one impersonator, and then the video abruptly ending, leaving the fate of the "real Captain America" ​​unknown.

All of this suggests that a group of unknown creatures with the ability to impersonate others are lurking among the people.

Moreover, these creatures are quite bold and ambitious.

More importantly, the beginning of the video shows high-ranking officials from more than 30 states supporting these green monsters.

Some speculate that aliens are lurking on Earth and have already taken control of the United States.

Some speculate that the United States itself may have developed some kind of biological weapon in an attempt to replace the Avengers.

In short, all sorts of opinions are rampant.

But for other countries, whether such aliens really exist or the United States itself is causing trouble, it doesn't really make a difference; neither is good news.

Soon, the whole world began to feel insecure.

Fearing that their loved ones might also be replaced by those green-skinned monsters, everyone nervously kept their distance from others.

Even worse, officials and even top leaders of many countries have recently been assassinated.

The reason is that, starting at some point, the policies they support or the statements they make are vastly different from before, and they may have been secretly replaced by those green-skinned monsters.

Of course, whether this baseless suspicion is true or false, or whether someone simply wants to take this opportunity to get rid of them, only those who experienced it firsthand can know for sure.

However, what is most terrifying is that in the very few successful assassination cases, some officials actually turned into green-skinned monsters after their deaths.

When this news broke, the world immediately became even more chaotic.

Leaders of most countries, regardless of their previous views, have now begun to adopt a unified narrative.

They were proclaiming that these green-skinned monsters must be dealt with as soon as possible.

However, what followed was that those leaders who spoke the most vehemently and outspokenly were subjected to even more serious assassination attempts.

This time, however, it was the green-skinned monsters that appeared among the corpses of the failed assassins.

Suddenly, everyone became suspicious.

Leaders who were previously active and made high-profile declarations have now become more reclusive, increasing their security measures and minimizing their public appearances.

The world fell silent once again.

But correspondingly, beneath this silence, fear continues to accumulate relentlessly.

This eerie silence continued until news spread online that the Avengers had developed a device to detect 'imposters'.

"Your Majesty, now that they have come forward on their own initiative, should we stop them and bring them back?!"

In the governor's office in America, the current occupant of the office is now sitting in front of his computer, respectfully asking a question to the person opposite him.

The video shows a large, futuristic-looking laboratory. The woman referred to as "Queen" by the governor is a rather young-looking white woman. Without a doubt, this is a conversation between the Skrull Queen and her subordinates.

"Don't send our own people there yet. They chose to build that spire at the New York site because they saw how desolate it is now."

"As far as I know, even the transportation of construction materials is now handled by the robot army under that man named Luca. Our people have no way to infiltrate."

Upon hearing his queen's words, the 'governor' nodded in agreement, but soon a troubled expression appeared on his face.

"But... are we just going to let them build up some kind of safe zone? What if they really have a way to detect camouflage and cover the entire Earth with these spires?"

In fact, the information Luca posted online was rather vague, and there wasn't even a verification video.

So even the governor himself doubted whether the claims about the escaping rats were exaggerated and whether there were any actual detection methods.

But with these kinds of things, you can't be too afraid of the unexpected.

However, Queen Skrull, well, that is, Gaia, raised her hand to interrupt him.

"I'm just saying, don't send our own people to attack. Let Ferzford mobilize his human forces to launch an attack. If they can't cause effective damage, then launch a nuclear strike directly at their construction site in New York!"

"Can"

Hearing this, the governor's embarrassed expression did not fade.

“The human soldiers are currently very opposed to us. Even though the troops on the other side of Fuzford strictly control information, a lot of news is still circulating among the lower-ranking soldiers.”

"It doesn't matter! As long as they don't know what New York is doing! Send the troops over! If the Avengers don't make the first move, we can infiltrate and cause chaos!"

After understanding the Queen's meaning, the 'Governor' nodded again and then asked another question.

"What about a nuclear bomb?"

This time, the governor hesitated even more, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.

In fact, these Skrulls do not want to use weapons like nuclear bombs unless absolutely necessary.

Today, within the Skrull radical faction led by Ijaya, the vast majority of Skrulls consider Earth to be theirs for the taking.

Although the Skrulls' population is far smaller than that of humans on Earth, they consider themselves a more noble race than humans, as they all possess superpowers and, due to their advanced biotechnology, can even master the abilities of other Earth superpowered individuals.

Using nuclear weapons rashly could cause permanent damage to 'their own planet'.

The number of ordinary Earthlings killed by nuclear bombs will further reduce the number of slaves available to them in the future.

Even if they were to release a nuclear bomb in a no-man's-land like New York, the Skrulls would still be at a disadvantage if it triggered a retaliatory nuclear strike from other countries around the world, regardless of the cost.

Therefore, he wanted to continue to persuade the queen in front of him.

However, it was clear that Jia Ya had a different opinion from him.

"There are no 'buts,' just do as instructed!"

"I will then have a drone dispatched on Friday to assist Fauci in his operation!"

"You don't need to know about any other actions!"
