Nick Fury squinted his eyes, observing the reactions of Talos thoughtfully, and his expressions became solemn.
He had a premonition that he would hear a shocking answer next.
"Talos, tell me, what exactly do you need me to do for you?"
Talos struggled for a while. Even though he had made up his mind, he still felt that what he was going to say next made him feel irritated. His lips seemed to be stuck with strong glue and it was difficult to separate.
Hearing Nick Fury's inquiry again, he knew that he had no way out, and Skrulls had no way out either.
They need the approval of the earth, and they also need the approval of Li Ge. They also need the earth to work with them to resist other civilizations in the universe, so that they Skrull Empire can be successfully reborn in Solar System.
Otherwise, the last traces of the Skrull Empire may really be destroyed by those civilizations in the universe who discover that they are gathering towards Solar System.
Talos's heart was also full of helplessness. Skrull Empire was still too arrogant before. Otherwise, even if those civilizations in the universe were not allowed to re-establish their empire, they would not be nearly as hostile as they are now.
As a result, he can only make difficult decisions and huge sacrifices for the future of Skrulls.
To seek a more glorious future.
"Nick... We are friends, right?"
His voice became dry and hoarse due to the violent fluctuations in emotion, and his tone also became deeper.
Nick Fury didn't know why he asked this kind of question at this time, but he still answered firmly, "Of course Talos, you have been my best friend for so many years!"
After receiving this answer, Talos seemed relieved, but his expression was still hesitant.
He subconsciously wanted to get recognition and encouragement from his own people, so he looked at the other Skrulls, but all he saw was their trembling backs. At some point, they all turned their backs.
Talos's eyes dimmed. Knowing that they had given all their trust and decision-making power to him, the guilt in his heart suddenly surged up, almost making him breathless.
"Am I going to be Skrull Empire's sinner?"
This thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but look up at Nick Fury.
Nick Fury noticed the strange behavior of Talos and knew that they were making a difficult decision, so he did not urge them. He just watched and waited carefully, waiting for an answer that might surprise him.
"Nick... I need you to help me contact the leaders of all countries on the earth, especially the five permanent members!"
Nick Fury's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Talos in disbelief.
"Are you sure?"
Even if Talos hadn't stated the purpose of contacting those country leaders, his intuition was already frantically deducing the next possibility.
The purpose of Talos is self-evident, Skrulls is going to have a showdown with all countries!
As for whether it will be cooperation or confrontation after the showdown, or other possibilities, it is destined to have a profound impact on the earth.
Talos said in a serious tone, "Yes Nick, I'm sure!"
Then, he smiled, it should be a smile, at least the corners of his mouth were grinning, but in Nick Fury's opinion, it should be a bitter smile.
"Nick, please tell them that we are willing to share all the knowledge of Skrulls... all of it!"
"Also..."
Talos's face trembled, his voice also trembled, and he even began to gasp.
"... Huh... Huh..."
"Tell them that as long as they are willing to accept Skrulls and re-establish Skrull Empire in Solar System, and promise to work with us to resist the subsequent attacks on Skrulls by other civilizations in the universe!"
"Skrull Empire... willing to make an oath under the witness of the great immortal power and sign a contract with the earth protected by the rules of the universe!"
"Always guard the edge of Solar System for the earth!"
Nick Fury stood up abruptly. The cat on his knees almost fell to the ground due to his sudden movement, but it quickly jumped onto his shoulders. After letting out a dissatisfied cry, it continued to lick the red Crystal Core.
"Pah!"
"Talos, do you know what you are talking about?!"
Nick Fury quickly stepped forward and pressed Talos's shoulders with both hands. Green energy burst out from the force on his arms, as if he was trying to scratch Talos's flesh.
His eyes were wide open, staring into Talos's eyes.
He had to be shocked because he did not expect that Talos would give such a humble answer.
Due to the relationship between Li Ge and Path to Godhood, Nick Fury is no stranger to the rules of the universe, and is even very familiar with it. After all, the Tesseract originally controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Space Stone inside, are the embodiment of the rules of the universe.
Not to mention the power of Six Infinity Stones that he learned from Li Ge that can affect the entire universe, as well as the various magical and incredible things Block Rule and Chaos Rule created by Li Ge himself.
Especially after knowing the true existence of magic and gods and demons, as soon as Nick Fury heard the term "rules", he knew how humble and sincere Talos's answer was.
If Talos really signed a contract protected by the rules of the universe as Talos said, then Skrulls can really only stay on the edge of Solar System forever, unable to leave or refuse.
Even if Skrulls regrets it in the future, there is no way to change this restriction. At most, the scope of the concept of Solar System edge can be expanded.
How humble, how cruel, how no room left!
Even though Skrull Empire has been destroyed for a long time, their knowledge and heritage are still not comparable to that of the earth.
What's more, Talos wants to bring the entire civilization on board!
Even a person like Nick Fury, who is Blackheart, thinks it's too cruel!
He didn't even know how Talos persuaded other Skrulls to accept this humiliating result.
As for whether this kind of contract can be successfully signed, Nick Fury already had the answer in his heart when Talos said that it was witnessed by Li Ge's power.
"Yes!"
Unlike Talos and others who can only learn the ordinary information revealed by Li Ge, Nick Fury can always learn more detailed information about Li Ge because of Tony and others.
Especially after knowing what Li Ge did in Dark Dimension, using Demon Realm to go crazy with Galactus dark energy in Dark Dimension, and the entire Solar System who has assimilated Zombie World is ready to be taken away directly, and he always has the upper hand in these situations when facing Mephisto, the master of Hell.
Nick Fury has absolute trust in the power of Li Ge.
He feels that as long as Li Ge is really willing to witness the contract between the Skrull Empire and the earth, and really contributes, this contract will definitely become a part of the rules of the universe and cannot be easily shaken.
He looked at Talos's eyes seriously and saw the frustration and determination inside, as well as a touch of humiliation and helplessness.
Nick Fury knows that they have really made up their minds.
Likewise, he quickly thought of the reason why Skrulls made such a decision.
Because Tower Reaching Heaven, because Demon Realm, because Block Island, because Path to Godhood, because...Li Ge!
With the blessing of these huge benefits, for Skrulls, the sacrifice now may not be able to turn into glory in the future.
He released his hands from Talos's shoulders, stepped back and sat back down again.
He looked at Talos, and Talos looked at him. The Sandman behind him widened his eyes in disbelief. The Skrulls next to Talos stopped trembling, turned around, and stared into his eyes.
Nick Fury rubbed his crazy temples, lifted the cat from his shoulders to his knees, and stroked it gently.
Under everyone's gaze, he slowly closed his eyes and nodded. "Talos, I helped you!"
