A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 155 Thanos's Restless Moment: It's Time to Stir Up Trouble!

Tony Stark glanced through the list and found that there were only about twenty people, less than thirty.

Their original Skrull appearance, their current disguised human identity, their permanent residence, and so on.

All the necessary information was clearly marked.

"These are the Skrulls? They're really ugly."

Tony couldn't help but curl his lip, becoming as sarcastic as ever, then glanced at the braised egg, "They're all here?"

"All the Skrulls I know are here," Nick Fury replied solemnly.

"With so few people, they can't pull off a secret intrusion."

Tony couldn't help but reveal a mocking expression, and he began to ridicule the braised egg without any attempt to hide it.

It wasn't that Playboy was deliberately mocking Nick Fury; it's just that the braised egg incident was handled rather idiotically, full of flaws.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be one thing, but Lu Dan is, after all, the king of spies!

So you're supposed to be a secret agent, yet you're being played like a monkey by the Skrulls under your command?

That's a joke!

That's why I'm sitting here.

As if he hadn't grasped the meaning behind Tony's words, Lu Dan remained expressionless and put down his coffee.

"Notify me immediately if you find anything."

He stood up, waved to Tony, and left without looking back.

The same applies to Playboys.

About five minutes after the braised egg left, he also got up and left.

He got into his luxury car and drove off in another direction.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Jarvis.

However, the moment he returned to his luxurious villa, the playboy gave Jarvis an order.

"I want you to monitor and track everyone on this list 24/7."

Swish!

Jarvis instantly scanned everyone in the file and then confirmed with Tony Stark.

"Sir, how long are we going to keep an eye on them?"

"Until we find more Skrulls!"

"clear!"

Jarvis, of course, faithfully carried out the Playboy's orders.

It instantly connected to all the network-connected cameras and recorders and performed a search.

They easily located all the Skrulls on the list.

For Jarvis, who was far ahead of his time, this was a piece of cake; it didn't take him any effort at all.

"It's been a long time since I've been in touch with Zhao Hailun. Should we find an opportunity to talk to her?"

After finishing his business, Tony leaned back on his luxurious sofa in a lazy posture.

He fell into deep thought.

In fact, he had already asked Jarvis to search for some of Zhao Hailun's current research results.

Stark also read some of the papers and research reports published by the other party.

Although a regenerative cradle has not yet been developed, or even the concept has been proposed.

Judging from their research areas, if they were to expand outwards, it would be pretty much a done deal.

Therefore, Playboy is now 70% certain that Dr. Zhao, mentioned in his diary as having developed the Regeneration Cradle, is none other than Helen Zhao!

Even with Tony Stark's arrogance, he had to admit that the Cradle of Regeneration was indeed a groundbreaking achievement.

……

At the same time.

Temple One.

The spacious hall was so dark and cold, like a deep and lonely night sky.

It creates a strange sense of oppression.

Of course, this only applies to Earthlings.

However, Thanos, the supreme ruler of the universe, actually enjoys this kind of style.

Looking around, one sees Thanos, seated on the highest throne, looking down at The Other, the Chitauri leader kneeling before him.

That's right, this guy's name is just that weird, it's The Other.

He is a relatively obscure villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Few people even know this name if you just mention it.

Simply put, this guy is the one who communicates with Loki on Thanos's behalf and swaggers around in front of Loki.

He was also the poor kid who talked nonsense while Ronan was arguing with Thanos and got killed by Ronan with one hammer.

Although he doesn't appear often and doesn't seem to be valued by Thanos, he's a dispensable extra in Thanos's eyes.

But actually, in the interstellar world, The Other is also a very powerful character.

Otherwise, how could he directly work for Thanos?

However, compared to Thanos' two daughters Gamora and Nebula, and compared to the famous Black Order, they are relatively unknown.

"Master, Ronan has agreed. He will use his power to find the cosmic sphere for you."

Although The Other did not look up at Thanos, he could still feel the immense pressure emanating from him.

This made The Other's voice sound even more respectful.

"He made the right choice."

Thanos was not surprised by this and nodded calmly.

Ronan the Accuser is a madman. His rage over Xandar has driven him mad, making him an obvious weakness that can be exploited.

For someone like Thanos, using this to drag Roon into the water is not a difficult task.

Even so, Ronan was never one of his own.

To ensure that the other party works honestly for you, instead of playing any tricks behind your back.

Thanos made a decision after all.

Padma and Nebula went to Ronan's side partly to assist him, and partly to keep an eye on him.

Thanos believed that Ronan would agree.

After quickly sorting through these thoughts in his mind, Thanos found nothing wrong, so he turned his attention back to The Other.

I asked him another question.

"Besides the cosmic sphere, are there any other gems in existence?"

The other, kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but show a look of utter annoyance.

The Infinity Stones are legendary items; they're not so easy to find.

Even the information about the cosmic sphere was obtained after a great deal of effort.

Even the information they received wasn't accurate; it was just some relevant clues.

There's not even a trace of the other Infinity Stones.

Oh, right, and the Cosmic Cube on Earth!

But for some reason, the owner didn't seem too enthusiastic about the Cosmic Cube.

Even though they knew long ago that it was very likely an Infinity Stone, they never took any action.

Not only that, but they have also been keeping everyone secretly watching Earth and the Nine Realms.

"Master, besides the Cosmic Sphere, there's only the Cosmic Cube. We currently have no other information."

As those thoughts flashed through his mind, The Other began to answer Thanos's question in a deep voice.

Thanos was not surprised by this; the Infinity Stones are not easy to find.

That contains the most powerful force in the universe!

"What's happening in the Nine Realms right now?"

After a moment of contemplation, Thanos glanced down at The Other again and asked.

The planet C53 was insignificant to Thanos.

Even according to the level of civilization in various star systems, C53 is completely a low-level planet.

Planets far more advanced than C53 have been destroyed by Thanos countless times.

The C53 is utter garbage.

But the crucial point is that C53 is Odin's territory!

That was a ruthless person who dared to challenge the Celestials with a single call to arms.

The key point is that he fought fiercely with the Celestials and still survived.

Thanos said he couldn't afford to mess with such a ruthless person.

Although Odin is now very old, this old age refers to the aging of Odin's body, not his divine power.

As a god-king, Odin's divine power became more terrifying with age, but his aging body would restrict the opponent's ability to exert divine power.

But that's the general case.

If Odin is angered, and the opponent disregards his own physical injuries and forces a fight, defeating Thanos would be extremely easy.

This is precisely the key reason why Thanos has never dared to easily attack Earth.

Besides that.

Thanos learns that there seem to be some dimensional demons in the universe who are eyeing C53, but have not yet succeeded in taking it.

In addition, it is said that Ronan attempted to destroy the C53 about a decade ago, but failed.

Whether these events are all due to Odin and Thanos is unknown, but C53 is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and the depths of the matter are unfathomable, which is no surprise.

With all these factors combined, Thanos naturally dared not act rashly.

He certainly wouldn't give up on the Cosmic Cube, but he needed to wait for the right opportunity.

"Just recently, chaos broke out in Asgard."

"The frost giants invaded Asgard in an attempt to kill Odin, but ultimately failed."

"Asgard was furious, and their second prince nearly destroyed Jotunheim."

"However, an accident occurred during this process, and Loki fell into the abyss of space."

The other voice rang out, giving Thanos a basic overview of the situation.

Thanos, sitting on his throne, suddenly brightened up!

opportunity!

Isn't this the opportunity I've been waiting for?

Loki is Odin's son; that's a truly brilliant trump card.

The only worrying thing is that falling into the abyss of space is an extremely dangerous thing, and Loki is probably doomed.

However, Thanos was determined to give up on this only chance, no matter what.

"Has Loki's body been found?"

Thanos immediately pressed on, asking the same question.

The Other, who was kneeling on the ground, froze for a moment before nervously replying, "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't think this was any important information."

Swish!

Before he finished speaking, The Other immediately felt that the air in the room seemed to freeze.

He subconsciously glanced up at Thanos and saw Thanos staring at him with a gloomy face.

The other was so frightened that he shuddered and immediately pulled his head back in.

"I'm sorry, Master, it was my oversight!"

The other immediately admitted their mistake, and cold sweat broke out on their forehead.

"Whether it's important or not is for me to decide, not for you!"

Thanos's deep and cold voice drifted over, making The Other even more afraid to breathe.

"Yes, Master."

He simply responded repeatedly.

"Go and confirm this right away!"

"Yes, Master!"

The other dared not utter a single word of nonsense. After receiving the order from Thanos, he immediately began to devote himself wholeheartedly to this matter.

He began by using almost all the power at his disposal to search the entire universe for Loki, or Loki's corpse.

Although The Other almost believed Loki was dead, and that his master's actions were pointless.

But what can you do when it's the master's order?

The other still dared not disobey in any way.

There was no way around it; Thanos's influence on him was simply too deep.

……

The "secret moves" Thanos made behind the scenes were naturally unknown to Tony Stark and the other holders of the diaries.

After reaching a "cooperation" agreement with Lu Dan last time, Tony has been using Jarvis to monitor the Skrulls and keep track of their movements.

In the hope of finding other Skrulls hiding on Earth.

And when Tony Stark finally found out, his jaw nearly dropped.

It only took half a year.

Tony was actually in various places around the world, mainly in the United States, including the Great Bear Country, where he discovered many Skrull settlements.

It was still those areas where large numbers of Skrulls gathered.

The number ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands.

According to Tony's simple calculations, the number of Skrulls lurking on Earth at this very moment could be as high as several hundred thousand!

This is truly shocking.

Playboy dared not delay in the slightest and immediately joined up with Nick Fury.

He told Lu Dan about the shocking things he had discovered during his investigation.

"Hundreds of thousands of people?"

Are you sure?

When Nick Fury heard this, he almost popped his eyes out; he simply couldn't believe his ears.

With Jarvis's help, new Skrulls have been found one after another over the past six months.

According to the information Tony provided, there are only a few hundred people.

How could it have suddenly increased so many times over?

It's like a joke.

"When we last met, you gave me the latest list, which only had thirty-four people. All of them together, the Skrulls number no more than five hundred."

"It's only been less than two weeks, right? How come there are already hundreds of thousands of people?"

Nick Fury was extremely shocked by this, and even somewhat confused.

Hundreds of thousands of people!

Do you know how many people live in the entire Manhattan area?

Through the spoilers in the diary, Lu Dan had already guessed that there must be quite a few Skrulls on Earth.

But no one expected there would be so many.

There were so many that it was terrifying!

The key question is, with so many Skrulls, how could they possibly hide?

Although Skrulls do possess the ability to shapeshift, allowing them to perfectly disguise themselves as anyone.

But no matter how perfectly it's disguised, it's still just a disguise!

What is fake can never become real.

To truly and perfectly disguise someone, a lot of preparation is needed beforehand; otherwise, it will be easy to expose flaws.

If only a small number of people are impersonating, it's not a big deal if there are occasional flaws. But what if there are hundreds of thousands of people?

It's simply impossible to blend into the Earth perfectly without attracting any attention.
