Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 362 A Weighty Trust
Luca, who leisurely floated back into the cockpit, didn't care whether the Skrulls in the space station were keeping an eye on their brief 'battle'.

If there really is any internal video broadcast...

First, he was blocked at the door by someone, then his own queen descended like a divine soldier, but before he could even say two words, he was turned into a cube again.

I wonder if those green-skinned soldiers can withstand such extreme emotional fluctuations?

His mind was filled with these random thoughts, not without a touch of wicked humor.

This time, Luca pushed the control stick directly, flying towards the hole in the outer wall of the space station, which was the spot where Gaia had just emerged after the renovation.

Unbeknownst to Luca, the Skrulls only possessed one genetic sample of Carol.

So, although he has now directly dealt with Jia Ya, who has completed the 'Super Skrull' transformation, he is also worried that dozens more similar 'Super Skrulls' might suddenly appear later.

In that case, even with a static force field and a [dehydration gun], Luca might not be able to handle it easily.

However, when he arrived at the hole, he found that, let alone continuing to create new 'Super Skrulls', the place had already been destroyed when Gaia broke through the wall.

Luca had originally thought that the Skrull Queen must have left the laboratory before she couldn't wait to break through the wall and escape.

In reality, Luca could see directly from the shattered outer wall of the space station into the chaotic laboratory inside.

The huge instrument in the very center was completely broken, and various devices around it, sparking with electricity, were scattered all over the ground.

Not only that, but all the other Skrull experimenters in the laboratory, dressed in white robes, also died tragically from hypothermia and negative pressure, floating in mid-air.

If the laboratory doors hadn't remained tightly shut, Luca would have suspected that the entire space station would have been completely destroyed by this attack.

"How ruthless!"

Although it's unclear whether Gaya lost control of her emotions or if it was premeditated, Luca is certain that she is definitely not a qualified queen.

But what does all this have to do with Luca?

Seeing that there was no longer any threat of more 'Super Skrulls' emerging, Luca felt much more relaxed. He simply controlled the Gundam to pry open the door, contacted Natasha and the others, and prepared to end this farce.

"So, you're stuck with the AI ​​program that Tony created?"

With two casual spirit arrows, Luca took down a Skrull who was trying to rush up. Looking at Natasha and the others who had arrived much earlier than him but hadn't done anything 'important', Luca's tone was rather helpless.

At this moment, because Luca had directly dealt with Gaia, who had become a 'Super Skrull,' the Skrulls on the verge of despair within the space station were completely divided into two factions.

Some of them, like cowards, hid in their homes in the residential area, praying that after everything was over, Luca and his "heroes" would spare them, the "old, weak, women and children".

Meanwhile, another group of Skrulls chose to 'erupt' in despair, gathering together and launching a frenzied attack on Natasha and the others.

Many even went so far as to target the human prisoners held in the cells, whether they wanted to use them to threaten for their own lives or to kill all the prisoners and fight to the death.

Of course, a very small number of Skrulls tried to leave the space station in their aircraft, but all of them were shot down by the three Gundams guarding the outside of the space station. There was no need to distinguish which Skrull group they belonged to.

However, no matter how many Skrulls want to fight to the death and perish together.

However, despite being categorized as 'minor' by the world's will, they were unable to break through the direction formed by Natasha and the others.

Not to mention after Luca arrived. What was originally a barely organized and impactful desperate counterattack gradually became ineffective.

Upon hearing Luca's question, Natasha even used her martial arts skills to quickly get rid of the enemy in front of her and give a reply.

“That’s right. We originally planned to find Friday’s server room and destroy it, but since you’ve captured the Skrull Queen, perhaps we can try to use her privileges to bypass this AI idiot.”

Clearly, Natasha was also full of resentment towards the rigid artificial intelligence that Tony had created.

If it hadn't been for its constant obstruction, the group might have already rescued their imprisoned companions and returned to Earth.

Luca didn't offer any empathy in response, but simply nodded slightly. He then prepared to release Jia Ya again and use the stillness field to restrict her movements, hoping to try mind control or scan her image with the [Transformation Watch] to regain control of Friday.

However, before Luca could even take out the energy cube...

Perhaps it was because Natasha mentioned the name 'Friday' again, right there in the passageway where they were fighting, from the speakers above.

After a series of piercing electrical hums, the cold, electronic female voice rang out again.

"Permission-based retrieval, hidden permission triggering, database backup plan activated."

After a long string of cryptic remarks, amidst the tense atmosphere surrounding Natasha and the others, the electronic female voice suddenly changed its tone and addressed Luca respectfully.

"Your Excellency Orange, according to the Hidden Insurance Clause No. 45, you have the authority to issue a termination order to me directly under any circumstances."

Upon hearing this, the battlefield, whose intensity had already begun to decrease, fell silent.

Apart from Hulk, who was still smashing things around, the other Avengers members all looked at Luca with surprise.

Even Luca himself was completely baffled at this moment.

"Hidden permissions? Insurance terms?"

Upon hearing Luca's questioning tone, the electronic female voice spoke again.

"Yes, according to the program's creator—the genius Tony Stark, Football Boy—Luca Orange possesses the program's third-priority control authority and hidden safeguards."

"The third-priority control authority was cleared after the primary authority was transferred to Ms. Jia Ya, but the hidden safeguards are not included in this list."

"This hidden clause will not be affected by changes in other permissions or the life or death of the permission holder."

"You still have the corresponding permissions in the list of termination commands, including terminating existing missions, deleting targets, and closing this program."

"Would you like to close the program now?"

As Luca listened to Friday's explanation, for some reason, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

However, a relieved smile quickly appeared on his face.

"Hmm, that's a really deep level of trust."

"Now, close the program!"
