Chapter 640: Skrulls
As the clown with black lines showed the essence of green soul, Robert couldn't help but look at the Martian Hunter beside him. Robert had seen a lot of green skin now, but the soul in front of him, which still had black lines, looked a bit like Martian Hunter!
At least, in Robert's perspective and senses, the similarity between the soul in front of him and Martian Hunter was higher than that between Martian Hunter and Piccolo! Even if they were not from the same ethnic group, they looked similar to each other...
"..."As one of the few people who could see the two souls of the clown, Martian Hunter naturally saw the soul in front of him that was somewhat similar to the Martian, but Martian Hunter knew that the other party was not a Martian.
This might be because of the different races, which caused Robert to have an illusion similar to face blindness.
However, at this time, the Martian Hunter was constantly recalling some information in his mind. Unlike the Earth, which basically had no intersection with the cosmic civilization, as the Earth's neighbor, the Martian civilization was undoubtedly more developed. They didn't say that they knew the entire universe, but they also knew a lot of cosmic races and information...
"Is it really your kind?" Robert saw that the Martian Hunter didn't speak, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Martian Hunter. Suddenly, he thought of something, and nodded in understanding.
"Yes, you seemed to have shown a similar ability to transformation before. So it seems that it is not unacceptable for him to transform into a clown. However, what is he going to do by transforming into a clown? And the individual differences between your races seem to be quite large. Even with the power of the dark dimension, his soul is still so weak..."
"He is not one of my people!" Hearing that Robert started to imagine directly, Martian Hunter sighed helplessly for a while and explained softly, "According to the information I remember, this guy should be a Skrull. This race of theirs has the ability to change their appearance at will, disguise themselves as another person, and can even copy the memory of this person!"
" Moreover, it is said that there are super Skrulls among the Skrulls. They can not only copy the memories of the imitated, but also copy the abilities of the imitated! "
"Copying ability?" Robert's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he stared at the Martian Hunter and kept asking, "Is there no limit to their copying and disguise? Can they copy completely? No need for contact or something? After copying the ability, can they be as powerful as the copied person?"
"I don't know about this. I don't know much about this race. Maybe they have some limitations, but this must be the core secret of the race. It is not the information I can grasp..." Martian Hunter shook his head slowly and said seriously.
"The Skrulls did come to Earth before, but they came to escape at that time. Finally, under the leadership of Captain Marvel, they left Earth to find a new home. I just don't know why there are Skrulls on Earth again, and they imitated the Joker's appearance..."
"Wait! Carol? !" Robert heard the words of the Martian Hunter and his eyes widened instantly. He remembered that when Carol came back, he roughly said about his duties in the universe.
It certainly won't take so long to help the Skrulls create a new home. Carol also needs to help many backward civilizations resist the invasion of advanced civilizations, and even help those civilizations grow and develop.
Since the Skrulls were only mentioned briefly in Carol's story, Robert didn't think of them before, but now after hearing Carol's name, Robert couldn't help but frowned, and for a moment he was a little unsure whether this matter had anything to do with Carol.
However, based on Robert's understanding of Carol, the other party should not do such a thing, especially Carol's family is still on Earth, and Carol certainly doesn't want any accidents to really happen on Earth.
Therefore, even if Carol hasn't been contacted yet, even if he hasn't gained more information from this Skrull, Robert can still conclude that Carol must have been deceived by the Skrulls!
After all, it's too easy for the Skrulls to conceal their abilities. Even if there may be a huge gap between their strength and Carol's, such disguise and transformation as a racial talent is still too scary.
Don't say Carol doesn't have any special perception abilities. Even if she did, she wouldn't necessarily be able to detect that this race of people who are all traitors is playing a trick on her...
"Which Skrull is this guy pretending to be? How can we detect the disguise of the Skrulls?" The Avengers on the side heard the conversation between Robert and Martian Manhunter, and their faces changed. Even though most of them couldn't see the souls of the Skrulls, this didn't prevent them from getting a terrible truth from the conversation, because this disguise ability is unsolvable for most people!
No! Not most people! Almost everyone!
Even Robert could only detect that the Joker's aura was a little strange when he discovered him. If the Skrulls disguised themselves as someone Robert had never seen, then no matter how powerful Robert's perception was, he would not be able to know that the other party was a Skrull in disguise!
Especially after the soul of the pretender was forcibly shaken out, he still looked the same as the pretended person. If it weren't for the Skrull in front of him who was too painful to bear the power of the dark dimension because of pretending to be a clown, and took the initiative to restore his appearance, neither Robert nor Martian Manhunter would be able to recognize his true identity!
"It's hard to find..." Martian Manhunter shook his head with a serious expression and whispered after hearing the concerns of the Avengers.
As an expert in disguising himself as others, Martian Manhunter knew that his ability was at most comparable to that of an ordinary Skrull. He could use his transformation ability to match the body of the pretended person, and he could also obtain memories by reading memories, but he had no way to copy the other party's abilities...
"It's okay, as long as you are not impersonated, I have remembered your anger. If I find a similar situation, I can confirm that you are impersonated. As for others, it doesn't matter..." Robert on the side looked at the heavy-faced Avengers and comforted them.
"What if the Skrulls are disguised as you?" Tony Stark frowned and asked Robert with some hesitation.
"According to what Martian Manhunter said before, ordinary Skrulls can't disguise themselves as me. They can only disguise themselves as ordinary people, or people like the Joker who don't have extraordinary abilities..." Robert shook his head slowly and said softly.
"As for the super Skrull disguised as me, we have to see how much of my ability he can copy. I don't believe he can really copy my ability completely. If that's the case, they directly copy the most powerful person in the universe, wouldn't they be invincible directly?"
"Moreover, even if they disguised themselves as me, can they really transform like me? Can they use Qi perfectly? And the most important thing, can they transform into a Saiyan giant ape?"
"What if they can really do that?" Peter Parker shrank his neck. Thinking of an enemy who completely copied Robert's abilities and disguised them, Peter Parker's spider sense warned frantically, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Then you don't have to worry about it. Just let me fight with that pirated product. I also want to see if you can keep improving your combat effectiveness like me after copying my abilities!" Robert heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he even began to look forward to it eagerly.
Just when the Avengers were worried about the exposure of the Skrulls' identities, the Skrulls who had restored their own appearance did not relax at all. Just as Robert and Martian Manhunter saw, the Skrulls restored their own appearance, but the black lines were still imprinted on the Skrulls' soul.
This means that the Skrulls' soul has been marked by the dark dimension. When he dies, his soul will be taken away by the dark dimension. Of course, the power given to the Skrulls by the dark dimension is still on the Skrulls, but the Skrulls still have to admit the pain brought by that power all the time. This is the price!
But this Skrull is not a masochist like the Joker. He can even taste pain and even enjoy it. If he couldn't bear this pain, how could this Skrull directly expose his true identity?
Therefore, when he found that the power of the dark dimension was still bringing him endless pain, the Skrull felt a little desperate. He cast his eyes on the Joker, who was a little crazy because he had lost some of his memories, and rushed over while trembling.
"Buzz!" At this moment, Robert stretched out his hand and directly blocked the Skrull's advance. When the Skrull found that he couldn't rush to the Joker's soul, he calmed down a little and looked at Robert on the side.
The Skrull didn't have much impression of Robert, because to put it in an embarrassing way, when the Joker's consciousness inexplicably woke up from his copied memory, this body was completely out of his control, but was fully controlled by the Joker, and later his consciousness fell into endless pain.
If Robert hadn't taken action to get the souls of the Joker and the Skrull out, the Skrull wouldn't even be able to restore his appearance now...
However, the slightly calmer Skrull soon realized what his current situation was. He knew that the great plan of the race must not be exposed because of him. In addition, he was now suffering from this unimaginable pain all the time, so the Skrull made a decision in an instant!
"Buzz!" The Skrull's soul began to shrink. He had prepared to spend the rest of his life to preserve his great plan for the race and to completely free himself.
"Buzz!" However, Robert had been staring at the Skrull, how could he not know what the Skrull was going to do? In just a moment, a powerful force directly surrounded the Skrull's soul on the spot, making the Skrull's soul fall into a state of stiffness and immobility.
"Martian Hunter, it's your turn. You are good at reading memories, aren't you?" Robert was not prepared to use mind reading, but let the Martian Hunter, who was better at this, take action.
"His previous memory was extremely chaotic, and it seems that he copied a lot of other people's memories. I will try my best to find his own memory, but it may take some time!" Martian Hunter nodded, and the power of the mind began to be released, covering the soul of the Skrull.
Those intricate memory fragments appeared in front of Martian Hunter again, but after knowing the identity of the Skrull, Martian Hunter had a certain degree of discrimination ability, so he ignored most of the memory fragments and began to look for his own core memory hidden by the Skrull...
"Yes, am I dead? Someone became me, so I came back to life..." Just as Martian Hunter began to read the memory of the Skrull, the crazy look on the face of the clown next to him gradually faded, and he suddenly grinned at Robert, "I remember you, the battle maniac, you killed me so many times, do you want to know his memory? I don't..."
"Puff!" With a sound, the clown's words had not been finished, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and then the clown's soul disappeared instantly, and he didn't even finish reading the previous lines.
"A soul without any special power can still shout here. I don't know how this guy who can be killed at will can live for so long and occupy the body of this Skrull. It seems that this Skrull is not very good!" Robert retracted his hand and muttered with some disdain. He didn't even take killing the clown's soul seriously.
Robert also knew a lot of the clown's deeds, and even dealt with the clown before. In Robert's opinion, even when he just recovered his memory, it was not difficult to kill the clown. I don't know why this guy with a brain problem but constantly causing harm can live so long...
"Buzz!" Just when the clown's soul just died, the black lines on the face of the Skrull next to him suddenly moved, and then the power of the dark dimension appeared in the base of the Avengers and began to pull the soul of the Skrull.
It's like the pain and power of the dark dimension are bestowed on the Skrull, but the life they recognize is the clown. Now that the clown's life breath is completely gone, the dark dimension will take away the Skrull's soul... (End of this chapter)
