During the three months of recovery, Lucas had placed his mind in a state of deep meditation.
However, when he awakened, his mind suddenly experienced a strange and subtle sensation.
It wasn't the result of deliberate thinking or logical deduction.
Rather, it was like the sixth sense that occasionally appears in everyday life—those sudden gut feelings people experience without knowing why.
Before he had transmigrated into this world, Lucas would have simply ignored it and forgotten about it.
But now things were different.
Having reached his current level of strength, he could no longer dismiss such sensations so easily.
As for where this feeling came from, Lucas himself couldn't explain it.
After all, although he didn't have many enemies, he certainly had more than a few.
Just as the Ancient One had said—
even if he was confident in his preparations, he still needed to be ready for unexpected situations.
That was also why he had waited three months before taking action.
---
What surprised Lucas, however, was that during these three months there had been no signs that the Skrulls had received any warning.
That made the whole situation rather intriguing.
Were all the participants truly capable of keeping such a massive secret?
Or had the Skrulls already discovered the truth but chosen to remain silent in order not to alert him?
Either way, it no longer mattered.
Lucas was ready to act.
---
He closed his eyes and began mobilizing his ki.
Golden energy suddenly erupted from his body.
In an instant, he transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Under the influence of his powerful ki perception, every living being on Earth entered Lucas's sensory field.
The sensation was similar to how Professor Charles Xavier used Cerebro in the movies—
every life form on the planet appeared within his awareness.
Lucas then began using his immense mental power to analyze them one by one.
No matter how perfectly the Skrulls could mimic humans, they could not perfectly imitate Earthlings' life energy.
Therefore, Lucas could easily distinguish them.
After all, no matter how flawless the disguise, the life force and spiritual fluctuations of Earth humans could never truly be replicated.
Under such overwhelming detection, countless Skrulls immediately lost their ability to hide.
Their appearances, locations, and identities were all recorded by Lucas.
---
But Lucas did not stop there.
The golden aura around him suddenly surged dramatically.
Originally spreading like flickering flames, the energy now shot upward like a blazing pillar.
At the same time, Lucas's muscles rapidly expanded.
His height increased from just under 1.9 meters to more than 2.3 meters.
His physique transformed from powerful and athletic into something closer to a massive muscle monster.
Feeling the tremendous increase of energy inside his body, Lucas confirmed a theory he had considered long ago.
The first stage of Super Saiyan transformation had several levels.
The first level was the stabilized form after initially transforming—similar to Goku after returning to Earth from training on Yardrat.
The second level used Super Saiyan energy produced by S-cells to stimulate the body, enhancing speed and strength.
This was the form associated with the famous line:
"I am Super Vegeta!"
The third level, however, forced even more energy into the muscles, greatly increasing raw physical power.
In terms of pure strength and ki output, it could even approach the level of Super Saiyan 2.
Lucas was currently using that third stage.
It was the same form Future Trunks used against Cell, where his muscles expanded dramatically—only to be completely overwhelmed by Cell.
Although this transformation consumed far more energy than the others, Lucas didn't intend to fight right now.
He only needed the temporary amplification before reaching Super Saiyan 2.
---
With the huge boost in energy circulating through his body, Lucas expanded his detection ability further.
He began conducting a sweeping planetary scan, far more detailed than before.
He wanted to see if he could locate the hidden Skrull god during this opportunity.
But as time passed, Lucas gradually frowned.
No matter how carefully he searched, he couldn't find the being.
"That guy is hiding incredibly well," Lucas muttered.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
His massive, muscular body suddenly shrank back to normal size like a deflating balloon.
Lucas understood the situation.
If even this level of detection couldn't locate the Skrull god, then there were only a few possibilities:
The being wasn't on Earth.
He was hiding inside another dimension or a space similar to the Mirror Dimension.
Or he possessed some special method to avoid detection entirely.
In the Dragon Ball world, ordinary people couldn't sense the ki of gods.
But that rule didn't apply here.
Lucas had sensed the energy of Hela, Thor, and Odin before.
Perhaps Asgardian gods were simply different from other divine beings.
However, Lucas currently had no way to verify that theory.
So he temporarily abandoned the search.
---
As his spiritual power calmed down, Lucas opened his eyes.
His emerald-green pupils shimmered faintly with golden light.
He then transmitted the massive data he had gathered through neural connection to his personal terminal.
Within moments, Alpha processed the information.
Lines of detailed identity data appeared across Lucas's retina.
Lucas quickly reviewed them.
After confirming that the number of targets and their identities were correct, he issued an order to Alpha.
The next second—
Across the entire planet, televisions, computers, and massive electronic billboards began displaying Alpha's announcement.
At the same time, radio frequencies around the world broadcast his voice.
Of course, emergency distress calls were automatically redirected to appropriate channels.
Despite the enormous global scale of the broadcast, it was effortless for Alpha's computational power.
---
First, Alpha explained the existence of the Skrulls and their infiltration of Earth.
Then the screens displayed the identified Skrull impostors.
Instantly, the entire world erupted into chaos.
People in every country were stunned.
However, most people weren't truly afraid.
Because Alpha had clearly stated that Lucas was personally handling the situation.
That single statement calmed countless panicked citizens.
For many people, Lucas's name had become synonymous with humanity's protector.
Some even volunteered to help capture the exposed Skrulls.
But the Skrulls themselves were thrown into complete shock.
For years they had lived safely among humanity.
Now, suddenly—
Every single one of them had been exposed to the entire world.
