After settling on the trade ratio, Lucas returned to his lounge and loed down.
[Points: 64,399]
Opening his panel and looking at the five-digit balance, Lucas felt his life was full of bleakness.
"I am probably, possibly, perhaps, should be, most likely… the poorest Elder God."
"It seems the progress of energy accumulation needs to accelerate."
Knock! Knock!
"Come in."
Looking at the thin, small girl who pushed the door open, Lucas couldn't help but feel surprised.
"G'iah, do you need something from me?"
The person who had entered was G'iah, the Skrull Princess. She held two milk teas and walked towards Lucas, looking a little nervous.
"Here."
"Thanks, G'iah."
Lucas took the milk tea and started drinking it by himself.
G'iah sat opposite Lucas, pondered for a moment, then bravely spoke, "Lucas, are the Skrull going to be finished?"
"Huh?"
Lucas looked up, glanced at G'iah in surprise, wondering how she came to this conclusion.
"Why do you say that?"
G'iah's voice slowly rang out, filled with grief and fear. "Carol has returned to Earth, bringing bad news. In the Universe, the Kree Empire's pursuit of the Skrull is intensifying."
Lucas interrupted G'iah, "Wait."
"G'iah, first tell me how the Kree and Skrull came into conflict. I don't leave Earth much, so I don't know much about things in the Universe."
Lucas wasn't completely unaware of the Kree and Skrull's grievances, but different Universes have different versions.
As a Multiverse wanderer, Lucas adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts, never being metaphysical or having stereotypes.
"Initially, the Skrull were a race affected when the Kree expanded their cosmic territory. But as the Kree engaged in large-scale cosmic wars in the Universe, to justify their actions, or to create a reasonable excuse, the Kree fabricated the Skrull threat theory."
"Using the reason that the Skrull threatened Kree safety, they hunted down the Skrull everywhere. At the same time, they conducted wars of conquest."
This time, G'iah's voice was full of hatred.
"Mm." Lucas nodded, signaling G'iah to continue.
"Now, the number of Skrull still alive in the Universe is getting smaller and smaller."
"More than ten years ago, Carol promised to find us a new home to escape the Kree's pursuit. But until now, she still hasn't found one."
G'iah took a slight breath and continued, "Now, a voice has emerged within the Skrulls. It is to invade Earth and claim it as our own."
After speaking, G'iah looked at Lucas, wanting to observe his expression. To her disappointment, Lucas showed no change in expression and was still concentrating on drinking his milk tea.
"Continue, I'm listening."
"Lucas, you will definitely intervene, right?"
"Although you said you have no prejudice against the Skrulls, if the Skrulls succeed, you will definitely intervene. At that time, it will be the doomsday for the Skrulls."
G'iah's voice trembled as she stared nervously at Lucas, seeing him slowly nod.
"You're right, G'iah."
"But you said one thing wrong, the Skrulls will not succeed."
Lucas lowered his head, finished his drink, then looked up at G'iah. "What do you want me to help you with?"
G'iah pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "I want you to help me kill Gravik. He is the leader of the faction among the Skrulls who advocate invading Earth."
"One cup of milk tea is far from enough for me to act, little girl."
Lucas looked at the empty cup. The next moment, the cup refilled itself.
"Also, don't even think about seducing me. I have a girlfriend, and we have a very good relationship."
G'iah pursed her lips before asking, "Lucas, what do you think of me?"
Lucas: "!!!"
"You don't think I'm being sarcastic, do you?"
Seeing Lucas misunderstand, G'iah quickly explained, "I mean, what do you think of my talent? Do I have a chance to become a Sorcerer Supreme?"
"Wanda told you?" Lucas asked.
"Yes." G'iah nodded.
"When did your relationship become so good that she even told you this?" Lucas asked curiously.
He remembered that G'iah and Wanda had only met for the first time a few days ago.
"I found out we were college classmates. I've been tutoring her these past few days." G'iah explained softly.
Lucas was silent, he still felt it was unreasonable.
After carefully observing G'iah for a moment, he shook his head. "G'iah, your talent is still a little bit short of becoming a Sorcerer Supreme."
Or rather, a little bit short of the Sorcerer Supreme Lucas required.
Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, possesses Chaos Magic.
Loki has already shown talent for Time Magic, and in some versions, he also has highlights as the God of Stories and God of Time.
Although Tony's magic talent is a bit lacking, he is a tech mogul, and in some versions, he is also the God of Machines.
It can be said that every member of Lucas's Sorcerer Supreme Team possesses unique skills.
"Super Skrull, possessing the ability to replicate, can copy the abilities of others. It looks excellent, but it only looks that way."
"Its inherent strength is not improved, and the copied abilities are always defective or cannot be copied at all."
G'iah was silent, this was not the first time Lucas had told her this.
"However, besides becoming a Sorcerer Supreme and guarding the real world for me, there's one more thing I need someone to help me with."
"What is it?" G'iah asked eagerly.
"I need an apostle to help me search for other dimensions. Or rather, to help me search for Hell." Lucas's voice echoed faintly.
"This is a dangerous job, requiring travel to different Universes and different dimensions."
Lucas's initial idea was to recruit Spider-Man as an apostle to help find Hell.
Spider-Man, backed by the Web of Life and Destiny, could more easily traverse the Multiverse but most Spider-Men are highly moral.
Who knows?
He might be busy fighting crime in the streets and alleys, with no time to do the serious business Lucas assigned.
G'iah, relying on the Super Skrull's replication talent, could quickly form decent combat power.
"Then, can I search for a planet for the Skrulls to settle in other Universes?"
G'iah quickly processed the information in Lucas's words and caught a key phrase — different Universes.
If they went to other Universes, naturally, the Kree would no longer be chasing them.
Lucas nodded. "Naturally, you can."
"However, a few people traversing the Multiverse and hundreds of thousands of people traversing the Multiverse are vastly different in difficulty."
"G'iah, if you want me to help with this, you might need to work for me for a very, very long time."
G'iah nodded heavily.
