Power Shift

Ten minutes later

Xiao Han grabbed a Skrull by the neck with one hand and lifted him high into the air.

The alien's green skin gleamed eerily in the sunlight as it struggled in agony.

"Turing, begin recording," Xiao Han.

"Recording has begun, sir," Turing's voice came through the watch.

Xiao Han stared straight ahead, his golden eyes flashing with a majestic light. "I am Superman. Ladies and gentlemen, these are the Skrull, the aliens who are about to invade Earth."

He waved the alien in his hand, "They can silently become your family, become you."

Xiao Han's voice was deep, "Imagine if one day you woke up and found that your family members had turned into these aliens, what would you do?"

The Skrull roared hoarsely in his hands, their skin constantly changing into various human faces, as if to prove Xiao Han's words.

"Recording complete, sir," Turing reported.

"Publish it on all major platforms." Xiao Han casually tossed him to the ground.

Within minutes, the video spread like wildfire across the global internet.

Social media exploded, governments around the world convened emergency meetings, and ordinary citizens were gripped by panic and anger.

"Support Superman!"

"Destroy these alien monsters!"

"They may have already infiltrated the government!"

Similar comments flooded the internet, sparking a global wave of condemnation against the Skrull.

Xiao Han's Super-Sight penetrated the Skrull spy's body on the ground; his cellular structure, DNA sequence, and transformation mechanism were all clearly visible to him.

"I see."

He murmured, "To mimic others through memory replication and cellular recombination, and even to replicate abilities."

Wanda approached, her crimson energy binding a dozen or so shapeshifting Skrull: "Where to next?"

Outer space.

Xiao Han opened a portal. "Time to go receive their spaceship."

The three passed through the portal and instantly appeared in the command center of the Skrull mothership.

Adam was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a ghostly blue Antimatter Energy, with dozens of Skrull corpses lying at his feet.

"You've arrived."

Adam landed on the ground. "The rest are under control."

Xiao Han nodded, his Super Hearing scanning the entire spaceship. "No one escaped."

He reached out and pressed his hand on the control panel. With a thought, the entire massive mothership vanished instantly and was stored in the system space.

The three of them instantly arrived in outer space. Xiao Han had already enveloped them with Biofield, which allowed them to survive on their own.

Adam's pupils contracted slightly. "What is this?"

"A little trick."

Xiao Han didn't explain further, and opened the portal again. "Let's go, it's time to go back."

On the terrace of the Long Island Villa, the setting sun painted the sea golden.

Xiao Han stood by the railing and gave Turing the order, "Notify Tony and the Avengers to come to dinner tonight. Tell them I have something important to announce."

"An invitation has been sent, sir."

Turing replied, "Mr. Stark said he would bring the wine."

Wanda walked over, her red hair fluttering in the evening breeze. "What are you going to tell them?"

Looking at the distant horizon, Xiao Han's smile hardened, "It's time to let the world know who the true guardians are."

As night fell, the villa's lights shone warmly and brightly.

Tony arrived first, carrying two expensive bottles of champagne.

Then came Banner, Natasha, and Clint, along with Adam, who had just visited his family.

Tony Stark pushed open the villa's door and was the first to step inside.

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw Wanda standing at the entrance to the dining room.

Her red hair fluttered slightly, and crimson Chaos Magic swirled around her fingertips.

A perfectly grilled steak floats steadily in mid-air, slowly drifting towards the dining table.

Wow!

Tony raised an eyebrow, his tone exaggerated, "Looks like Xiao's little witch can not only fight, but also cook?"

Wanda rolled her eyes, flicked her finger, and the steak landed steadily on the table. "What, Mr. Stark, do you think I'm only good at demolishing houses?"

Natasha followed behind Tony, chuckling softly, "Looks like someone's finally found a more interesting pastime than blowing up labs."

Clint Barton casually grabbed an apple from the floating fruit platter. "This is way more advanced than S.H.I.E.L.D..'s automated food delivery system."

Doctor Banner adjusted his glasses and smiled gently, "At least it's safer than the Hulk serving food."

Adam Bernard crossed his arms, a rare smile appearing on his face, "Not bad efficiency."

Tony shrugged, feigning regret. "If I had known magic was this convenient, I should have hired Shaw as my personal chef."

Natasha reluctantly picked up a piece of bread and precisely shoved it into Tony's mouth. "Shut up, unless you want to turn into a twisted dough stick."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed considerably before they all took their seats.

Tony mumbled through his bread, "This bread tastes good, but the way they fed me was a bit rough."

Xiao Han emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate of salad. His golden eyes swept over everyone as he smiled and said, "It seems you all get along well."

Tony swallowed his bread and raised his glass. "Of course, no one can resist the charm of a billionaire."

Natasha's eyes crinkled with amusement. "I hope your sense of humor can save the world."

"Alright."

Xiao Han sat down and gestured for everyone to start eating. "Let's eat first, then we'll talk business."

At the dining table, everyone sat around the long table, and the atmosphere began to become subtle.

Xiao Han raised his wine glass, his golden eyes sweeping over everyone.

"To the arrival of a new era."

Tony Stark set down his glass, the metal base making a crisp sound on the table.

"Alright, Xiao, can you tell us now? What exactly did you gather us here to discuss?"

Natasha Romanoff rubbed her temples, her voice weary. "S.H.I.E.L.D.. is in complete chaos. Fury is gone, and the Skrull have infiltrated far deeper than we thought."

Clint chewed on his bread and mumbled, "I killed at least several hundred green-skinned monsters today."

Doctor Banner adjusted his glasses and said with a wry smile, "Hulk certainly had a great time."

Adam Bernard leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "So, what's your plan?"

Xiao Han glanced around at everyone, lightly tapping the table with his fingertips. "Let's eat first."

Tony rolled his eyes. "Here we go again."

Wanda chuckled softly, and crimson energy quietly rolled up a piece of steak, floating it onto Xiao Han's plate.

After everyone had finished eating, Xiao Han slowly spoke, "The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. has disappeared, but that's not the problem."

He paused, then continued, "The problem is, it's unrealistic for an ordinary person to want to control a team of superheroes."

Tony raised an eyebrow. "So?"

"Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D.. needs a new director." Xiao Han's gaze fell on Tony.

"You'll be in charge."

"Puff!"

Tony spat out a mouthful of red wine. "What?!"

Banner adjusted his glasses and nodded, saying, "I agree. You're the strongest, so you're in charge."

Natasha and Clint exchanged a glance, then shrugged. "We have no objection."

Adam added casually, "I have no objection either."

Tony's eyes widened as he pointed at himself. "Wait, why me? I'm just a playboy, a billionaire, a philanthropist, an inventor, who occasionally saves the world, but I have no interest in being a bureau chief!"

Xiao Han smiled and pointed at him, "S.H.I.E.L.D.. was originally founded by your father and others, so it's only natural that you take over now."

Tony scratched his head, stood up irritably. "You know what? I hate bureaucracy the most!"

"But you also hate it when people mess things up." Xiao Han looked at him calmly.

"Think about it, if S.H.I.E.L.D.. continues to be controlled by extremists, what will happen next?"

Tony was silent for a moment, then sat down again and sighed. "Fine, but I have conditions. I want absolute autonomy. I want to set the budget for S.H.I.E.L.D.., I want to select the personnel, and I don't want to sit in an office all day. Of course, you can have that too."

Xiao Han nodded. "Deal."

"Then," Natasha said, her hands clasped together, her gaze sharp.

What should we do next?

Xiao Han's eyes turned cold. "First, find all the Hydra and Skrull in S.H.I.E.L.D..."

With a flick of his finger, the holographic projection unfolded, displaying a detailed structural diagram of S.H.I.E.L.D.., with some names highlighted in red.

"Especially Alexander Pierce, he is the biggest Hydra leader."

Tony whistled, "Wow, this is going to be interesting!"

Banner frowned. "Just kill him? Wouldn't that be too drastic?"

Xiao Han said calmly, "Radical? No, this is called efficiency."

Adam nodded slightly. "I'll be in charge of cleaning up the European branch."

Natasha and Clint exchanged a glance. "We're in charge of headquarters."

Tony shrugged. "And what about me?"

Xiao Han glanced at him. "You'll be in charge of the bureau chief, and while you're at it, thoroughly search S.H.I.E.L.D..'s database to make sure no one slips through the net."

Tony scoffed. "Sounds like hard labor."

Xiao Han chuckled, "You can ask JARVIS for help."

Tony rolled his eyes. "Of course, my butler also has to double as S.H.I.E.L.D.. secretary now."

Xiao Han stood up, his golden eyes sweeping over everyone. "The power structure of S.H.I.E.L.D.. is changing, and you are the executors of this change."

Tony raised his glass and smiled wryly, "To the new era."
