The only player in the Marvel universe.

Ignoring the three disdainful looks, Du Mu continued, "Not only that, Earthlings have many powerful allies, such as Thor and Captain Marvel. They will never stand by and watch Earth change hands."

Upon hearing the name Captain Marvel, several figures at the round table couldn't help but tremble.

Decades ago, they had witnessed firsthand how terrifying that square-faced woman was.

Even the Kree, who nearly wiped out their race, were so frightened by her that they turned tail and ran. From then on, the Kree fleet never dared to approach Earth again. If they were really going to face her, they might as well find a propitious place to bury themselves beforehand, at least they could leave with a whole corpse.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "So now you understand, don't you? If I hadn't stopped that traitor Gravi, we Skrulls would have been doomed."

One of the radical members hesitated before speaking, "Then what should we do? We can't just stay here forever, living as undocumented immigrants who can't see the light of day, can we?"

Du Mu smiled slightly: "Since Nick Fury can't help us, then we'll find a new home ourselves. The universe is so big, and Earth isn't the only planet suitable for us Skrulls to live on. Why insist on staying here?"

Talos sighed: "I understand the logic, but when we escaped back then, those Kree had already destroyed our warships. We didn't have any ability to travel through interstellar space."

"Moreover, over the years, millions of our compatriots have arrived on Earth. It's not something we can just do by transferring so many people. We have neither the capability nor the resources to do so."

They never considered leaving Earth and traveling to other planets to find a new home.

The problem is they can't do it.

Earth is a remote and impoverished place; it doesn't even have a decent spaceship.

The Skrulls aren't lacking in technology, but Nick Fury, that heartless slave owner, has been taking advantage of them for decades without paying a single penny. Their pockets are emptier than their faces; they can't even afford to build a toilet on their spaceship, let alone talk about interstellar travel.

Du Mu waved his hand: "Don't worry about that. I've already figured out a solution. In just three years, we Skrulls will be able to break out of Earth, go to the moon... cough cough, and find a new home."

Nick Fury: (Seven灬●)

This sounds so familiar, like the pie in the sky I promised back then.

These Skrulls were really ruthless; they beat his face so badly it was swollen.

Upon hearing this, hope instantly ignited in the eyes of the Skrulls.

"What method?"

If Nick Fury had said this, they wouldn't have believed a word, but this person in front of them was one of their Skrulls, making him far more credible.

"You'll find out in time."

Du Mu did not say it explicitly, but only gave a meaningful smile.

Talos knew Du Mu's true identity and hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure?"

Du Mu nodded: "Of course, the Skrulls don't lie to the Skrulls!"

Talos:

The problem is, you're not a Skrull either!

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that heartless Nick Fury. I can definitely do what I promised you. I won't even need three years to send you to your new home. But I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Talos asked.

Du Mu stated bluntly: "Let me be the leader, and from now on, all Skrulls must obey my command."

Talos's expression froze, and he finally understood what Du Mu was planning.

Isn't this just like what Nick Fury did back then, making him sell the Skrulls off in a package?

However, the buyer changed from a dark-skinned, one-eyed man to the human in front of him.

Talos glanced at Du Mu, then at Steve, who had been watching them intently, and knew that the Skrulls had no other choice. What Grave had done had pushed the Skrulls to the brink, completely crossing Earth's bottom line. Earthlings would never allow such a dangerous alien race as the Skrulls to escape their control.

If they dare to resist, their fate will likely be just as Du Mu described: certain death.

"I understand. From now on, all members of our faction will follow your orders."

Talos sighed.

As an alien with an Earth core, he wouldn't resist even if he knew everything.

Seeing this, a high-ranking member of the radical faction quickly chimed in: "If you really have a way to lead us to a new home, we will also follow your command." They didn't know Du Mu's true identity. In their eyes, Du Mu was a ruthless person who could even kill Geravi. With his strength, it was perfectly legitimate for him to be the leader, so they naturally dared not have any objections.

Moreover, if Du Mu can truly fulfill this promise, there's nothing wrong with changing the leader.

The Skrulls have been wandering for too long; they don't care who's in charge, as long as they can find a new home.

Seeing that both conservatives and radicals had chosen to submit, Du Mu grinned and said, "Very good. I believe that with our joint efforts, we will soon find a new home that belongs to us."

"But before that, I expect all Skrulls, regardless of which faction they belonged to before, to behave themselves and not to make any further moves, or they will all be executed as traitors."

The Skrulls shuddered at the thought of Gravi's fate.

"clear!"

Mission "Secret Infiltration" Completed

[Rewards: 25000 EXP, 8 Free Attribute Points, Skill "Enchantment", Item "Construction Card", Item "Goblin Horn", Item "Soldier Rations", Equipment "Mental Amulet"]

[Skill: Enchantment (You can add temporary or permanent attribute buffs to equipment; the specific effect depends on the equipment's attributes)] [Item: Construction Card (Instantly completes any construction upon use; requires sufficient materials; a towering building rises from the ground)]

[Item: Goblin Horn (One-time use item; blowing it summons a goblin army to fight for you)]

[Item: Soldier Rations Pill (Restores a certain amount of mana and fills the stomach; an essential medicine for every ninja when going out)]

[Equipment: Spirit Amulet (Slightly increases maximum spirit and accelerates mana regeneration when worn)]

"Enchantment? That's a great skill!"

Du Mu's eyes lit up.

He had seen this skill in many games; it was quite useful.

Looking at the other props, they were all fairly normal, without any strange or unusual effects.

His gaze finally settled on the mental energy amulet. This equipment came at just the right time. He had been learning more and more skills lately, and his mana was starting to run out. This would be a perfect way to make up for that.

Du Mu allocated the free attribute points he had just acquired.

His profile panel was updated again soon.

[Attributes: Strength 100, Agility 53, Constitution 60, Spirit 60]

His mental attribute caught up with his physical attribute, making it Du Mu's second most important attribute.

In contrast, his strength has remained stagnant since breaking through the hundred mark.

If this trend continues, his account is likely to go down the path of becoming a "water bucket mage" (a term used to describe someone who is overly reliant on others).

Thus, Du Mu, posing as Leila of the Skrulls, officially became the new leader of the Skrulls.

Whether they are conservatives or radicals, they all have to obey his orders.

None of the Skrulls objected, and even if they did, they dared not voice their concerns; the sand giants, dozens of meters tall, wouldn't listen to reason. After the Skrull crisis was resolved, most of the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents gradually withdrew, leaving only a small group to assist Du Mu in his work and to monitor the Skrulls.

Neither the Avengers nor S.H.I.E.L.D. can completely let their guard down against these Skrulls.

As long as the Skrulls are on Earth, this kind of surveillance will never be lacking.

Of course, this is also out of respect for the Avengers.

Superheroes' methods are ultimately more moderate. If S.H.I.E.L.D. were to handle this alone, their methods would only be more extreme. If the U.S. government were to find out about this, they would probably take direct action to accomplish what the Kree failed to do back then.

After all, who can tolerate a group of aliens with malicious intentions hiding on their territory?

Faced with such a large-scale departure, Du Mu casually fabricated an excuse, saying they had formed a pioneering group to search for a new home in space. Apart from Talos, the only one who knew the truth, the other Skrulls' trust in Du Mu deepened even further.

Don't underestimate this small step; in their eyes, it's already a giant leap for the Skrulls.

Think of Nick Fury, that black bastard, who's been making promises for decades but hasn't delivered on a single one.

In contrast, Du Mu, having only been in office for a short time, had already begun to take action.

The two are worlds apart.

Many Skrulls exclaimed that with Du Mu's arrival, they now had a clear sky.

"Little S, didn't you say we have a million people? Where are they hiding?" Du Mu turned to look at Talos beside him.

Talos has now completely broken away from Nick Fury and become Durant's henchman.

Nick Fury had no objection to this.

He's in a mess right now, and if he goes back to S.H.I.E.L.D. he'll have to face interrogations from all sides. He wouldn't dare get involved with the Skrulls again.

Talos whispered, "Our people are scattered all over the world, living normal lives as Earthlings while gathering intelligence. Under normal circumstances, they don't expose their identities. Only a small number of Skrulls remain here at the base."

"I see."

Du Mu suddenly realized.

He said it himself: how could these penniless Skrulls possibly feed millions of people?

It turns out they lived separately, each going about their own business.

Du Mu then asked, "How many Skrulls with special genetic fusions do we currently have?"

"You mean the Super Skrulls?"

Taros honestly replied, "There aren't many, maybe a few dozen at most. Gravi's group makes up the majority. They've been using gene fusion devices to mass-produce super Skrulls. It's effective, but the cost is high. Many Skrulls have died due to failed gene fusions." After hearing this, Du Mu immediately understood the situation.

Dozens of Skrulls with special genes may not seem like a large number, but if used properly, they can be a formidable fighting force.

Du Mu pondered for a moment before speaking, "Little Skrull, to be honest, I actually have a base on the moon. Once the basic infrastructure there is completed, the next plan is to explore the universe. I can indeed help you Skrulls in finding a new home."

"You...you're telling the truth?"

Talos stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, I can take you to see it."

Without wasting any words, Du Mu directly summoned that stupid dog Tetanus and teleported him and Talos to Attilan City.

Talos stared in disbelief at the small city built on the far side of the moon.

"It turns out those rumors online were true; there really are aliens on the far side of the moon."

Du Mu was speechless for a moment: "You, an alien, have the nerve to call others aliens? Besides, the alien race isn't aliens. They are also native to Earth and can be considered Earthlings. It's just that a long time ago, their entire city moved to the moon and they've been living here ever since."

"I see..."

Talos scratched his head, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, Gravi's plan failed; otherwise, the Skrulls would have faced countless terrifying adversaries simultaneously, with even a branch of Earthlings on the moon. Du Mu ignored his inner monologue and continued forward with Talos.

Soon, the two arrived at the edge of Attilan, where a wide-open space opened up before them.

From here, it is clear that a large number of Hydra members are using a newly built transport corridor to continuously deliver various building materials to the outer areas.

Looking along the transport corridor, in a more distant open area, several uniquely shaped engineering spacecraft are hovering at low altitudes, continuously carrying out construction work.

Below the spaceship, an extremely large base has already taken initial shape. The foundation has been laid, the main frame is being built, and some areas have even begun to have their exterior walls and energy equipment installed.

Meanwhile, various supporting buildings began to be constructed around the core area on the periphery of this base.

Talos was dumbfounded.

This isn't a base at all; it's clearly a plan to build a city on the moon!

Du Mu was very satisfied with the current progress.

Hydra's infrastructure capabilities are indeed reliable, and with the technical and material support provided by the Inhumans, the base was completed even faster than he had anticipated.

Once fully completed, this place will become his core base within the Milky Way, providing a stable rear base for both exploring the universe and dealing with various emergencies.

Du Mu turned to Talos and said with a chuckle, "What do you think?"

Boom!

Talos immediately knelt down and clung tightly to Du Mu's leg: "We Skrulls have wandered for half our lives, only regretting that we have not met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon us, we are willing to make you our leader!"

Of course, that's not what was said in the original text, but that's the gist of it.

Back when Nick Fury was just a Level 3 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with nothing, Talos was willing to lead his comrades to defect to him for a mere promise, and from then on, they were completely devoted to him.

Not to mention a top tycoon like Du Mu, who possessed both ability and wealth, as well as influence.

In comparison, their allegiance to Nick Fury was at most a form of poverty alleviation, while their allegiance to Du Mu was definitely a case of clinging to a powerful figure!

Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to your thighs!
