Chapter 248 Pure Light Magic

That's right, Natasha in front of me is a Skrull.

Du Mu had some impression of this alien race.

Peter B. mentioned a few times that the Skrulls and the Kree were sworn enemies, that is, the Kree Empire where Ronan the Accuser was from, and the two sides had been fighting for who knows how many years.

The most troublesome thing about the Skrulls is their ability to mimic. They can not only transform into other people's appearances, but also replicate their voices and memories. They can even copy some of the other person's superpowers, making them an enhanced version of Mystique.

It is precisely because of this outrageous talent for imitation that the Skrulls have caused quite a bit of trouble in Peter B's world.

However, on his own server, Du Mu heard more about the Kree and very little about the Skrulls. It was said that the Skrulls were constantly being suppressed by the Kree and were once on the verge of extinction before disappearing completely.

He really didn't expect that these knock-off aliens hadn't been wiped out, but instead had appeared in S.H.I.E.L.D.

How did you figure out I was a fake?

The female Skrull frowned, staring intently at Du Mu, her eyes filled with confusion.

You must know that their race's disguise is flawless, and they can even replicate the memories of their target. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are the real thing. Yet this person in front of me can see through my abilities.

Of course, she didn't know that in Du Mu's discerning eyes, her ability to disguise herself was like a female anchor who forgot to turn off a level 10 beauty filter but still claimed to be a beauty anchor.

Du Mu naturally wouldn't offer an explanation, but chuckled and said, "I was just guessing."

The female Skrull's lips twitched: "What if you guess wrong?"

Du Mu spread his hands: "What else can we do? Attend the banquet."

Female Skrulls:

'

'

She felt sorry for Natasha for having such amazing teammates.

Steve demanded, "What did you do to Natasha?"

"Don't worry, she's safe for now, but you two might not be."

The female Skrull narrowed her eyes: "I originally planned to control you secretly, but now that we've been exposed, we'll have to change our strategy."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As soon as he finished speaking, thick silver alloy plates slid out at high speed from the hidden layers of the four walls.

In the blink of an eye, all exits and ventilation ducts were sealed off, turning the entire strategic room into a completely enclosed space.

Meanwhile, one S.H.I.E.L.D. agent after another slowly emerged from various corners of the strategy room.

Du Mu glanced around and saw that without exception, all of these people were Skrulls.

Clearly, these Skrulls had already infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.

Du Mu was somewhat speechless.

Is S.H.I.E.L.D. a sieve? How come any force can infiltrate it?

First the Hydra, then the Skrulls.

How many genuine S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are still in S.H.I.E.L.D. right now?

The female Skrull stood in the center, her eyes cold: "The strategic room is under a Level 1 blockade protocol. No signals can enter or leave. The defense level is sufficient to withstand the direct impact of missiles, so don't expect to hear anything from outside."

"It's not too late for you to give up resistance now. As long as you cooperate with us, I guarantee you won't suffer any unnecessary harm."

Don't even think about it!

Steve raised his shield and said firmly, "No matter who you are or what your purpose is, I will not let you succeed!"

"In that case, let's take them down!"

The female Skrull stopped talking and waved her hand.

Upon receiving the order, the Skrulls disguised as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents immediately sprang into action, raising their weapons and pulling the triggers without hesitation.

Da da da da da da—!

A barrage of gunfire erupted in the confined space!

Countless golden warheads transformed into a metallic storm, pouring towards Du Mu and Steve.

Steve raised his shield in front of him, and with a series of crisp clanging sounds, all the bullets were blocked by the shield. Amazingly, not a single bullet hit any other part of his body.

Du Mu activated his protective technique, his body radiating a layer of white light that deflected all the bullets.

He raised his left hand, and a golden Desert Eagle appeared in his hand.

boom! boom! boom!

Gunshots rang out, and three Skrulls were shot between the eyebrows and fell backward to the ground.

Unlike the female Skrulls, they didn't have the ability to withstand bullets. They were dead beyond dead, and their bodies quickly shed their disguises, reverting to their original goblin forms.

When Steve saw this, he knew perfectly well that these guys weren't human at all.

He had initially worried that these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were being controlled, but now it seemed they were just like the female Skrulls disguised as Natasha—a bunch of imposters.

Steve's last bit of hesitation vanished. He lowered his body, raised his shield, and charged forward, crashing directly into the Skrulls.

The shield swung left and right, leaving only the dull thud of bones breaking wherever it struck.

To be honest, the scene where Steve, wielding the Hydra shield, beats up a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents does have a bit of a Hydra Captain vibe to it.

Just then, a Skrull pounced on Du Mu.

During the charge, his right arm suddenly swelled and deformed, covered with coarse, hard green scales, and his five fingers transformed into sharp, gleaming claws that slashed toward Du Mu's face!

Du Mu swiftly reached out with his right hand and grabbed the other man's wrist, his five fingers suddenly exerting force.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the hideous arm was instantly crushed, its bones shattered, and it collapsed.

The Skrull let out a scream, his buttocks trembled violently, and a thick, powerful green tail burst out from his clothes, whistling through the air like a steel whip, sweeping across Du Mu's waist.

Du Mu deftly dodged to the side, his tail lashing heavily against a nearby pillar, leaving spiderweb-like cracks.

He examined the reptile's tail and immediately recognized it.

"Dr. Lizard?"

Clearly, this Skrull has replicated Dr. Lizard's abilities, acquiring the same physical characteristics.

Immediately, its tail lashed through the air once more.

Whoa!

A flash of cold light, and the tail was severed in two, spurting out purple blood.

Du Mu held the short axe he had taken from Skorch, and looked at the Skrulls screaming in pain, noticing that the wounds showed no signs of healing.

He grinned and said, "Looks like you didn't copy Dr. Lizard's healing factor along with it."

It's clear that the Skrulls cannot completely replicate the target's abilities; at least, the strength of their abilities is far inferior to the original.

Indeed, if the Skrulls were that powerful, they would have dominated the entire universe long ago, and they wouldn't have been reduced to an endangered species by the Kree.

Just then, three more Skrulls rushed out from the side.

Their bodies transformed in a flash, turning into the three Asgardian hounds, wielding cold weapons, and they attacked Du Mu together!

"As expected of the world's will, even the counterfeit can't separate the three of you."

While complaining, Du Mu swung his short axe and easily parried the attacks of the three Skrulls.

These three Skrulls only copied some of the physical attributes of the three Asgardian hounds, but they lacked the corresponding combat skills. Moreover, the weapons they carried were all products of Earth, and they couldn't even break through Du Mu's protective magic.

"But you've learned the scraping technique quite well."

Du Mu shook his head, too lazy to argue, and suddenly increased the speed of his axe strike.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Three muffled thuds almost overlapped as the axe blade swept across, severing both the man and his weapon in one fell swoop.

Du Mu flicked the sticky blood off his axe and sneered, "The genuine product is free anyway, let alone your bunch of knock-offs."

"asshole!"

Seeing that several of her elite subordinates had been wiped out, the female Skrull could no longer remain calm.

With a furious shout, she stomped her right foot on the ground, and amidst the shattering bricks, she shot towards Du Mu like a cannonball.

Her right arm suddenly swelled up, the muscles bulged and knotted, and her skin turned yellowish-brown, transforming into a fist the size of a clay pot, which slammed straight at Du Mu's head!

Du Mu sheathed his short axe, clenched his left fist, and met the attack head-on without dodging or avoiding it.

Bang! !

Their fists collided violently, producing a dull, loud bang!

A visible shockwave erupted from between their fists, sweeping outwards in all directions.

Several cracks appeared in the paving stones beneath Du Mu's feet, yet he remained completely still.

On the contrary, the female Skrull was thrown back half a step by the shock, and a clear look of surprise flashed across her face.

It's important to know that the object she cloned was Abomination, the mutated monster that absorbed the Hulk's genes.

Even if her abilities are not as good as the original, she is still considered top-tier among superpowered individuals. Apart from Hulk and Thor, almost no one can rival her.

But this guy in front of her actually caught Abomination's attack with his bare hands and even knocked her back?

The female Skrull had no time to think before she saw Du Mu's fist coming down again!

She gritted her teeth and took the hit, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce exchange of blows.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—!

Their fists collided repeatedly, each time producing a deafening roar like a drumbeat, and shockwaves erupted one after another, making the surrounding Skrull soldiers almost lose their footing.

The female Skrulls grew increasingly terrified as the fighting progressed.

She used all her strength in every punch, but her opponent not only took them all, but also countered with increasing force!

After several hard collisions, she could even hear the cracking sound of her arm bones breaking under the strain, causing her excruciating pain.

Is this really a human?!

Although the female Skrull knew that Du Mu was no ordinary person—in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files, Du Mu's mission completion count had surpassed the total of most S.H.I.E.L.D. agents combined, almost single-handedly supporting the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.'s KPIs—she still didn't know his true strength.

In fact, no one is clear about Du Mu's abilities and strength, not even Nick Fury, who has known Du Mu the longest and was the first to discover his special qualities.

The female Skrull never expected that in a pure contest of strength, she would be at a disadvantage in her Abomination form.

After exchanging more than a dozen heavy punches, the female Skrull finally couldn't hold on any longer, staggering backward and losing her balance.

Du Mu would not let such an opportunity pass by. He stepped forward and his right fist slammed solidly into her abdomen!

"Ugh—!"

The female Skrull's eyes bulged out, her whole body arched like a shrimp, and then she flew backward, crashing into the huge electronic screen behind her, sparks crackling and flashing.

But she quickly struggled to her feet.

This time, her body underwent an even more complete change.

Apart from the head, the lower part of the neck has completely transformed into the appearance of an abomination, only the overall size is two sizes smaller than the original.

Imagine that beneath Natasha's beautiful head, there's a body over two meters tall, covered in exaggerated muscles.

The visual impact is truly bizarre.

Du Mu was so frightened that he quickly activated his Fiery Eyes again. Only after recognizing the other party's true form—green skin and pointed ears—did he breathe a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect you Skrulls to be so secretive, you even know how to use mental attacks."

The female Skrull ignored his complaints, transformed into a small giant, roared, and pounced, slamming her fist down.

Du Mu nimbly dodged, shaking his head: "You barbarian who only knows brute force, today I'll show you the power of a mage! Blessing of Light!"

He raised his hand and waved, and a ball of light flew out from his palm, shooting straight at the opponent's chest.

The female Skrull felt the holy aura coming towards her and immediately raised her arms to block it. However, the moment the ball of light touched her body, it actually melted into her body.

She suddenly felt a heaviness all over her body, as if she had fought three hundred rounds, and her body inexplicably became weak.

But this wasn't the end; Du Mu's voice rang out one after another.

"May the Holy Word protect you!"

"Life blossoms!"

"A Heroic Battle Song!"

"Poison...cough cough, Blade of Light!"

One after another, orbs of light flew in and entered the female Skrull's body, instantly stacking a large number of debuffs on her.

Weakness, slow movement, poisoning, blood loss, dizziness...

Although these effects were very minor, their combined effects were terrifying, and even the female Skrulls' constitution almost couldn't withstand them.

She exclaimed in shock and anger, "You actually know such evil magic?!"

Although she was a Skrull, she was very knowledgeable about Earth and naturally knew about the mage's methods.

Du Mu scolded, "As expected of aliens, they have no discernment at all! This is pure light magic!"

'

Female Skrull: "6"

'

Nonsense! These spells are all insidious weakening effects; they don't resemble light magic at all!

In fact, Du Mu did use dark magic, but it was affected by the light attribute that caused him to appear this way.

But he just wouldn't admit it, insisting that it was light magic.

After all, this concerns his superhero image. If people find out he uses dark magic and he's mistaken for an evil supervillain, how will he ever be able to have fun with other superheroes again?

Unfortunately, the energy tentacles are a game skill and are not affected by the light attribute. Those pitch-black octopus tentacles are really not suitable for display in this situation. Otherwise, Du Mu would have just spat the female Skrull out with his tentacles.

The female Skrull was about to retort, but before she could utter a word, a huge scepter smashed into her stomach.

Du Mu snatched the 300kg Pharaoh's scepter and began smashing it down on the female Skrull.

The female Skrull reached out to defend herself, but the debuffs stacked on her body were still in effect, making her feel like she was stuck in glue. Her movements were much slower, and she could only take every heavy blow with her body.

The most disgusting thing is that every time Du Mu attacks, his scepter emits a white light, giving the female Skrull a new debuff.

The female Skrull was powerless to resist. Her consciousness began to blur, her abomination form became unstable, and her yellowish-brown skin would sometimes crumble, revealing her original dark green skin underneath.

Bang! !

With a loud bang, the female Skrull was sent flying by the scepter and crashed heavily to the ground.

At this moment, she had returned to her original state, covered in blood, and had no strength to get up.

Du Mu walked slowly to her, raised his huge scepter, and the top of the scepter emitted a dazzling light.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say before you die?"

"You, you evil..."

'

Bang! !

The scepter slammed down, interrupting the other person's speech.

Du Mu pulled the scepter from the flesh and blood, and coldly snorted, "As expected of an evil alien, even in his dying moments he still tried to slander me!"
