Tony said gratefully; he really didn't want to lose any more companions.
"This is just a transaction.
But I really didn't expect you all to have an alien here."
Nolan looked at the crowd.
"Nebula used to be Thanos's adopted daughter, but now she's our companion."
Future Tony explained.
Nebula, being stared at by Nolan's gaze, couldn't help but tremble all over; that powerful oppressive feeling made her feel as if she were facing her father.
"What about the other one?"
"The other one, you mean Thor?"
"No, I'm asking about the one next to him."
The others also shifted their gaze to Rhodes's face.
Rhodes also pointed to himself with a bewildered expression.
"Demon King, have you never seen a black person? Although my skin is darker, I am truly an Earthling."
"You are not black."
Red light gleamed in Nolan's eyes.
A scorching red gaze shot out like lightning, and before anyone could react, it had already pierced through Rhodes's chest.
The arc reactor in Rhodes's chest was instantly hit, creating a shocking large hole.
"What the f***!"
"Tony, get away from him quickly!"
"Why? Demon King!"
Everyone looked at him with shock and anger.
Future Tony looked at Nolan in despair.
Why save one of their companions only to kill another?
Or was he here this time to conquer this World, and they had trusted the wrong person?
"Everyone, stop, he's not Rhodes."
Natasha was the first to notice something was wrong.
She stopped everyone.
Everyone looked at Rhodes on the ground; he looked up with eyes wide open in death, and the skin on his face began to change, turning into a green, pointed-eared alien.
"Skrulls can freely change their appearance, disguise themselves as other races, and even copy memories. Super Skrulls can even replicate the abilities of those they imitate.
They are also notorious invaders in the Universe."
Nebula explained with a look of disgust.
Even the Black Order had been invaded once.
That time, they checked everyone's memories to find the infiltrator.
Everyone present instantly looked extremely grim, thinking that this disgusting race had quietly appeared on Earth, and had been among them for so long without any abnormality being detected, a chill ran down their spines.
Could other people around them also be disguised Skrulls?
After the Snap, half of Earth's population disappeared, and now the defense forces of various countries are unprecedentedly weak.
For the Skrulls, this was undoubtedly the perfect time to invade Earth.
But the key was, when the entire Universe was affected by the Snap, how did they manage to appear precisely on Earth at such a critical moment?
"Where did the real Rhodes go?"
Future Captain America frowned, asking worriedly.
"..."
Future Tony was speechless.
He was truly exhausted now; the Snap incident hadn't been resolved, and now there was an alien invasion.
This time was even more dangerous than the Chitauri invasion; if not handled well, Earthlings might truly face extinction.
